underwhelming visit

the room was clean upon arrival.

I found the food quality disappointing (especially given the price). my steak was fatty and under-rendered. the service was unattentive. We waited a long time for drinks. i probably will not return here.

the food was excellent. it was all local or homegrown and nourishing. i was able to go for walks without needing the car. the bird watching was amazing and might be my new favourite hobby.

there were a lot of flies inside. it was a real nuisance to those eating in the restaurant.
