The same owners have been there for over 40 years, may they continue to do so for many more. The wait staff were polite and helpful with our allergies. A definite recommendation and would return if in the area again. ”

The 2 of us shared a king prawn, garlic, ginger and shallot stir fry plus a sizzling steak dish accompanied with steamed jasmine rice and finished off with a classic banana fritter and ice cream.
