I had to insist that he hadn't, he then grudgingly gave it back to me and wasn't happy that I had caught him out. Therefore I would avoid paying by bank card as I believe he wanted the card to commit credit card fraud.

eating is ok. standard menu for the area. the decor and the service are also a bit better than average. the real problem is that the dining room is next to a bar in which you can smoke (very unusual in these days) and there is a door separates. the two rooms, and the waiter goes through this door. They usually manage to close it, but. it's just annoying.
