helpful staffriver viewfantastic pizzasmall platedry burgerlack of sauce
The staff was fantastic, and liam was helpful! the room had a beautiful river view. i really enjoyed the pizza. It had fantastic value and choice.
The greek salad was a bit disappointing. It came on a small plate. there was no dressing at all on my salad. Not even a bit of olive oil. the vegan burger my partner ordered was also quite dry and lacked sauce (this made it less enjoyable).
