   First visit , Wife’s meal had to go back as it was cold in the middle when they took it back the next one came, by this time I was three quarters through my most uninspiring Burger . When you go for a meal you expect to eat together . No discount offered , only one free sweet or drink Of which neither of us eat , they then offered one free drink , which we did not require as wife had some left in a bottle and I am non drinker My wife came home hungry The meal was not cheap, the ambience of the restaurant was ok , but the food did not live up to the standards expected not a fine dining restaurant.

   Great newish restaurant in Northampton. Varied menu offering dishes across a number of different genres. The dishes we had were all excellent; well cooked, full of flavour and good sized portions. Free bread and dips were a nice touch at the beginning of the meal. Service was very attentive. Radio being piped into the dining area was a bit too loud for me and the music was not really to my taste, but it did not seem to trouble the other diners. Quite pricey for Northampton but certainly worth it.

   Amazing service and amazing food…maybe the “happy birthdays” kill the high class vibe at times but really lovely to go out with friends it’s loud so you wouldn’t want to go with your partner for a quiet dinner.. but great for a fun .wow night!!!

   Food and presentation was amazing. Super tasty. Outstanding service, professional staff. Only issue was very loud music, could not really talk to each other. But otherwise brilliant place.

   The food and service here is absolutely first class. From the moment you enter the restaurant you are greeted with a smiling face and shown to your table. The decor and ambiance of the restaurant is classy and elegant. The food is brought out at just the right time so you don't feel rushed and get time to digest each splendid meal. The waiters always make sure you are happy with each meal and make sure your drinks are topped up. We left full and content. We would definitely go back.

    A regular visitor, always happy with the overall quality, portion size, ambience and staff attention to detail. On this visit, accepting it was a Friday night, there were numerous birthday parties, with the Happy Birthday music being played loudly, regularly. Thankfully guests were not overly exuberant spoiling things for others. The only negative as a party of 4, one mail meal was quite a few minutes later than the other three, which did impact on full enjoyment. Meals should arrive together.
