decent experience overall
food portion generous portion served vegetable separate vegetable attentive service discrete service damp smell musty smell mould grout dirty grout dirty area unclean area
The food portions were quite generous, though I almost could not finish my meal. The vegetables came separately, offering a nice change from pre-plated meals. The service felt attentive, yet it was not intrusive.
The bathroom had a damp smell, AND there was mould in the grout. Obvious surfaces were clean, BUT other areas needed attention. The room for the kids also smelled damp, a concern.
