10/10 Excellent
"The place really nice, albeit a bit dated. However, we didn’t mind a bit and had a great time. We ate there and enjoyed the live band. Then, we spend the rest of the evening by the creek. The staff is really nice and the place is within walking distance of a multitude of restaurants and things to do."
