The staff was very friendly. The food was good and there was a variety to choose from. Also, there were free refills on fountain drinks!

As above. Visited with a group of friends (about 20 in all). Despite the fact they were gearing up for Christmas & the restaurant was busy, nothing was too much trouble for the staff. Highly recommended!
