Had dinner with my wife on Friday night. What can I say !? Two bottles of borolo were excellent, stake was very grisly. I don't think we will be coming back for a while. Ps Service was good and we got 10% discount from the bill. But the whole experience spoiled our night out which we don't get very often.

Chose this restaurant via Trip Advisor to take my brother for a birthday meal. Had a really enjoyable evening. The service was so friendly and relaxed, the choice of food excellent and the food perfect. They had a special on cocktails and brother had both as I had to drive home; he lives just a few 100 yes away; but my glass of wine was very pleasant. To make a very enjoyable evening even better out waitress bought him a special glass of fizz on a birthday platter . Lovely evening, five stars across the board, thank you.

I'm a veggie and somehow always find fault when I eat out, but all three courses (and that of my friends) were incredible. Bit pricey for a Sunday lunch considering we didn't drink alcohol at £125 - but still - inspired, well thought out, well built, well presented food.

We enjoyed our meal at Blooms but there were several niggles which detracted from the excellent food. We were among the first to arrive for lunch but already they'd run out of bacon and the cherry tart was also 'off'. Things do run out but it's not a long menu so it was disappointing to have choice restricted like this. The drinks menu was stained and dog eared, the doors to the toilets and washroom floors could do with a thorough clean and the roses in the vase on our table were dying. The antipasto starter was delicious as was the fish pie.
