Dissappointed
Have always looked forward to going here. Local and been many times. Unfortunately they have changed menu. Also changed portion sizes , now way smaller for the price. Only bar service now , no table wait staff. Dropped the good old basic main meals. What a dissappointment ! Was a go to , now a go to , NO MORE !
