fresh foodfine decorations
the food WAS awesome. i had breakfast and dinner and everything tasted fresh and flavorful. the river house room featured fine decorations with gorgeous flowers.
the car park had tumbleweed, which i found slightly unappealing.

a bit underwhelming , honestly
small portionspoor quality
the oxtail i ordered was fine , i guess , but nothing special and the portions were small. my wife's beef was tough and chewy , she could barely cut it. they didn't even take it off the bill. they added a service charge , which i refused to pay because the food wasn't good. it's all about how they handle issues and they didn't handle it well.
