Poor food and decor, also when you walk in you are greeted with awards dating back 10 to 12 years ago and nothing since. Alarm bells are ringing surely, the staff are rude and I'm talking even the ones supposed to be in charge who are clueless. Avoid and no comebacks to the message as it's for all your future customers to see this if they do wish to visit.
