The food here is generally above average. The service however has slowed down. Today we were there, on a Friday before a long weekend. We arrive at 2:40. Our food, for 3 of us, with no special orders, took 40 minutes to arrive. We were served by the manager, because she said "Our service staff is swamped", but there were literally only 3 other families in the entire place. The whole time we were there we never once saw a single service staff, so if by "swamped" she mean "absent", that would make more sense.

The place just feels dreary; the lighting is dim, the music is... old, the decor is out of 1963, and not in a 'chic' way.

The bench seats are almost universally broken down, or overly soft, but whatever the cause, you sit way too low in them for the table.

The deserts are great, but the serving size is just absurd. I get we want more for our money, but cutting the serving size (and price) in HALF would still be large enough for multiple people.
