the review
Coffee is not exactly fine tinned to be called specialty coffee, at least the one I had was a bit burned. But it has good location and atmosphere.

Sorry! I was away until last Tuesday. Not sure what was served, but clearly it wasn’t good, I can only apologise! Next time you’re in the area please pop in, let me know, and I’ll make it up to you. ———

what we would have written
The location and atmosphere — glad those worked for you. On the coffee: a burned shot is usually a question of extraction temperature or time, and it's not something we'd send out on purpose. If it didn't taste right, we'd want to know at the counter.
