    Ridiculously over priced. $41 for 3 schooners of mid strength and $75 for a bottle of Prosecco that was $17 at Dan Murphy’s. Could tell why it was 3/4 empty.

    The food and venue were nice. I booked the Thursday night special however, when we tried to order they said they didn’t do specials. They offered 15% off our food which was a nice gesture.

    We went to the The king hotel after the tennis, on Saturday 24 January 2026. It was close to where we were staying and as it was so hot, we didn’t want to walk far. Service was good, vibe was good - but sadly the meat in my steak sandwich was as tough as an old boot! Ruined the dining part of the evening for us.
