Went to the Opera grill for lunch , staff were lovely, especially our waitress, we didn’t choose the lunch time set menu, but we will next time , because it seemed good value , but this was a birthday treat , so we went with the main menu, little bit pricey, lots of add ons , having said that, the food was of excellent quality. Definitely worth another visit 👍

Good pub grub. Service was slow but ok. Table needed a good clean, felt sticky. Otherwise, good value for money, fairly busy. I would recommend booking if you want to eat.
