Seating arrangements include options for both indoor and outdoor dining, with tables spaced apart to accommodate various accessibility requirements. Although there are some obstacles within the venue, navigation is generally straightforward, allowing easy movement throughout the space.
 

The toilets are inaccessible. If you can use them, they may present some obstacles for mobility devices, as the hallways are quite tight and narrow. Additionally, the venue often keeps items along the corridor leading to the restrooms. We recommend asking the staff for assistance to make the path more accessible; however, we cannot guarantee that this will be possible, depending on your needs. While the toilets are at flat level (the corridor is also flat), they may not be easy to use due to the lack of handrails and space to move a wheelchair in the restroom area.
