    Hi Service was very slow, had to ask where my food was then arrived but steak was cold so was obviously sitting on the side.

    Wasn’t as good as the last time, potentially a different chef?? Everything else was delightful, still had a wonderful time, the food wasn’t as good which is a shame.

    It's a nice place for ambience, however unfortunately the food was nothing special. The pork belly starter was mainly just soft pork fat, little actual meat. The chimichurri sauce was literally just like a potent garlic oil, I couldn't eat it. The lobster was just average. I don't think I would return.

    The tables were extremely close together. The servers were struggling to get by and if you needed the toilet, you were uncomfortably close to your neighbours' food when trying to pass. My starter and dessert were very nice but my lamb main course was overcooked, bland and chewy. The server said that the lamb would be served pink - I wish it was! Nobody asked if the food was okay, otherwise we would've told them. We waited too long for our plates to be cleared and given the bill so we had to get up and ask for it. Not the experience we were hoping for.

    Although the food was outstanding, the service we received wasn't at all up to expectations. We felt very rushed. Service charge 12.5% was asked to be taken off. We were not even aware a charge would be added either. Maybe let customers know of this as well.

    Lovely, friendly and attentive service. We ordered the chateaubriand medium rare, it was slightly more rare than we would have liked but still very nice. Otherwise a perfect evening. Would be happy to eat here again.

    Excellent and highly attentive service. Atmosphere was buzzing but not too loud (Saturday night). The food quality varied a bit. The scallops were a bit disappointing - slightly chewy - and the sirloin steak was a tiny bit dry. The lobster Thermidor was delicious though and the chocolate cake dessert was amazing. Great bottle of Sancerre too, sensibly priced. For the overall price though, at £75 a head it’s not quite where it should be in terms of overall food quality but everything else was great.
