"I visited her for an evening meal with a friend. Decor is nice. We arrived at 6, restaurant was empty. We did have to wait a couple of minutes for waitress to seat us but I noticed she was the only server so she may have been held up with customers. There were also work men in so she was tending to them as well. They have self service refills which is a nice touch and they had a 2 for 1 offer on cocktails. The menu is limited if you don't eat beef. I presumed that there would be a larger variety of chicken on the menu but I counted 2/3. I ordered the chicken burger. When it came out the meat was pink- I asked the waitress and she explained it was because of it was a chicken thigh. It completely put me off. I asked to change my order to tortillas. The waitress was very accommodating. The tortillas were ok but I was disappointed as I wanted a hearty meal. I had eaten the chips that came with my burger while I waited for the tortilla chips to come. When we asked for the bill I noticed they had charged me for the chips. I didn't query this as I had eaten them, however I felt this didn't give a friendly customer first feeling. I was a server for years and wouldn't have charged a customer for eating fries if they came with a meal they had sent back. But I did eat them, so I paid. I ended up paying £18 for tortilla, chips and 2 drinks. But steep considering I didn't get what I wanted. Unfortunately it has put me off and I won't return, however my friend enjoyed it. Look at the menu before you go to make sure there is something you would eat. Don't order the chicken unless you don't mind eating it pink."
