great food plus friendly service
friendly staff standard course lime pie
i had lunch there on april 23, 2024, and was met by really kind staff. i had the standard main course, it was most enjoyable. i also had the key lime pie and it tasted delicious.
the tv in my room was ancient and also it was too small. i could not sit comfortably to watch it, so i had to lie on the bed. the central heating did not come on though it was cold at night.
