... be careful about the seating. We'd heard that it was busy on Sunday nights so were there well before 5pm. There were plenty of spare tables though lots had 'reserved' on them so we asked one of the waiters what was available. He seated us in a great spot and we settled in to enjoy some drinks. Then at around 6.45pm after most of the tables were full the manager came and said that our table had actually been reserved by someone else so we would have to move! We werent keen to move - especially so when he indicated the only spare table (that clearly no one else wanted either!) tucked right behind the band which was completely unsuitable for us as it had no view and would be too noisy for my older parents & children. When we said we didnt want to move to that table and pointed out again that it was their staff that had seated us and we had already spend plenty of $$ with them they got a bit snotty and it really took the shine off our evening! We were glad we had stood our ground but we did wonder if the slow service we got for the rest of the night might be due to this !!
However that said I liked the place and would go back :-)
Cheers
