disappointing dinner experience
overpriced menuindifferent quality
i was quite annoyed by the dinner. the prawn cocktail cost £10, and it was just average. the rib eye steak was a whopping £32, i found its quality indifferent. also, i didn't like there being a shower in the bath. there were too many stairs for my liking.
