I don't care for the food that much. It is unusual, but the theme seems to be to boil everything in yoghurt. I know someone who works there and he knows about their reputation of bad service, they know about it, but don't really care. It is quite expensive too. There are many places here I would rather eat. Another place that masochists seem to love is the Shadowbrook. The food is mediocre at best and the prices are high. You pay for the upkeep of the little tramway. -don
