Wow! No, wait, wow isn't enough! This place is magnificent! Looking anyway...it's huge and has...stuff!! Lots of stuff!! And a really nice bar and comfy loungy chairs. It's all clean and spectacular.
Right, that's the bar. It's great! Drink here if you're in the area. Maybe a bit pricey, but it ooozes priciness! If you wear black-tie stuff here, you don't look out of place. However, going there after a night on the town when you haven't even made it home yet and you've been to work and you're wearing combats which you slept in, they still serve you!! Which is a bonus!
And then there is the restaraunts...one is "the Mill" and I can't remember the name of the other..."the street" I think...but anyway...we got menus and had a look. I hate fish. It was nearly ALL fish. In fact, the "Street" menu WAS all fish related. And everything else is Pork-chops or Lamb-chops and stuff. They were big portions, but I didn't feel like that or the chicken dish (only one), so I went for the Tagliatelle. Hmmmm...small, and some of it undercooked. But it was tasty, and the servers were REALLY nice. And proper...even if the girl couldn't use her wine-service...poor thing. Myself and my dad were sitting there watching her while trying not to laugh!
Good point: While you are eating, there is a big ocean scene thing going on and every now and then, there is a little ship sailing past or a girl dancing or a flute or a storm...it's actually deadly!
