attentive staff friendly manager delicious dinner

Staff was attentive and friendly . Management welcomed me from arrival. I enjoyed chatting with locals at a birthday party held in the restaurant. Dinner on premises was also delicious.

Breakfast was not included in my rate. I did have to order this separately. This was inconvenient, as I prefer breakfast included.
