8/10 Good
"Importantly the floor - beautiful white floor tiles 2ftX2ft were everywhere and gave a very impressive upscale appearance. The furniture was moderate, and the staff were friendly and courteous. They could improve the TV by adding two more Sri Lankan channels, there were too many channels with foreign languages no local guests understands. If they could re-start the restaurant, they could attract more guests. Thank you - Steve from USA, stayed 18 nights"
