"all good minus the tv situation"

Excellent

8.0

Overall the food was very good and they were very accommodating for my son who is vegan. The restaurant staff were lovely and very helpful.

The tv options. In this day and age I found it hard to believe that what we paid for that we could not sign in to any app like Netflix or Prime to watch our shows. They gave us a few local tv options. With WIFI access why was there no options to watch a paid streaming platform like the two mentioned above. Clearly someone had done it before us at some point at their account showed up. However when the staff showed up they informed me that it was not allowed or was not possible for us to do. This brings the rating down in my opinion on the overall experience as some of us like to come back after a long day and watch a movie or two. Thank you and hope you get this sorted out.
