                                Someone I know made an advance booking at this restaurant, a birthday party for nine. The booking was received over the phone and duly noted in the book. He hadn't been there, but was keen to try the place out. A few days later a surly sounding manager left a voice message saying that he had suddenly 'remembered' that they had a function in place on the same night and could he re-arrange the birthday booking. Despite making several calls to discuss this the restaurant manager did not once answer the phone nor did he call back to return any messages. I find this kind of action unthinkable in any quality restaurant. I do not know much about the management of this establishment but my guess is that they are driven purely by money, and not on ethics, service or any other principle on which to build a good business. I will never go there, the other person will certainly not be going there, and hopefully nor will you.                ]]></description>
