    Shocking experience. Left waiting for our table for 45minutes, when we finally got our table we were left waiting for another ten minutes before anyone asked us for a drink. They built a makeshift table for us at the cutlery stand and beside an open door. Draft blowing constantly asked to move we’re told they would move us to a new table, one became available, didn’t move us and just left us. Will never be back, overpriced absolute disaster of a restaurant

    Lovely lunch yesterday for our family Christmas Day out. Sirloin of beef was cooked perfectly 👌 Small delay with our desserts but it’s only to be expected this time of year and you can tell the staff are working really hard.

    I was totally underwhelmed here. I was so looking forward to dining here as Dylan mc grath has achieved a Michelin star. The steak was nice, the fries tasted like they were cooked in very cheap cooking oil, really awful. The price did not reflect in the quality. The service was very slow, it was busy, but no excuse. You had to catch the attention of the staff to order a drink. Not ideal. The Rooftop bar is amazing, but drinks are overpriced. The best part of this experience was the building and the red walls. Thats it.

    The tripled fried fries were so dry and flavourless half our table didn’t eat them at all. Don’t get me wrong, their meats are delicious. The dessert menu was a bit disappointing too with some weird alterations to classic desserts (who puts soft prunes with crème brûlée) so we went with the ones that seemed less complicated and the portions were generous as well as good. Service wise, they forgot a few things several times. It’s a pity drinks are handled by the bar upstairs because that bar is always busy so it can take a while to get your drink, or it’s forgotten entirely and the poor floor staff gets to apologise for that. Noise level was high when we arrived as the rooms were full. It echoes quite a lot around so fortunately there’s no background music. It died down significantly as people left.
