Majority of the staff are lovely and very kind. It's the odd few that bring it down. When ordering my food I felt I was being an inconvenience to them having to move. I ordered a mix grill at around 11:30am and the staff meme er who served me commented to another that the "Chef isn't going to be happy about this mixed grill at this time" I found this very insulting, the staff member looked at me and my face and just looked away. This aside the place is nice but it does have the potential to be great with the right staff.
