    Absolute shocking experience and highly disappointed, especially when this booking was for a special occasion and felt it totally ruined the day. Food took over an hour to come which was firstly off to a bad start. When it finally did arrive two meals were forgotten, two meals were incorrect and had the wrong egg type and mushrooms when it was noted no mushrooms. Food was barely warm and the supposed toast was bread, not to mention they had no sourdough as advertised and it was normal white bread. The portion sizes for the prices were disappointing and nowhere near worth the price, I’ve had more satisfying breakfasts in Sainsbury cafe. All in all I would never visit this restaurant again. I have never felt so strongly after visiting a restaurant to feel the need to leave a review but this was horrendous.

    3 of us ate here and the food was really tasty and reasonably priced. A couple of issues they bought my husband up the wrong dinner and to change it was going to be an extra 20 mins so he didn't eat what he ordered. The bill was incorrect and they tried to charge us for a different starter than we actually had which was more money. The staff sorted the bill out no problem, but it should have been correct in the first place. It was busy in there but there were only 2 members of staff waiting on tables and they seemed a but rushed. I'd definitely go back but maybe not on a Saturday night

    I have eaten steaks all over the world. The steaks in this restaurant are outstanding, full of flavour, cooked to perfection, every mouthful a delight. I live in Hertfordshire so travelling to Ely is an hour away but the thought of one of their steaks makes the journey worthwhile. The staff are friendly, attentive and efficient, doing their very best to please their customers. There is a good choice of wines. The scallop starter is gorgeous - scallops cooked in a yummy sauce to perfection under a puff pastry crust. The sides are full of flavour and great compliments to the main courses. I am not a chip lover but the chips at this restaurant could convert me. Will definitely be back - I say to you - What's not to like.

    Attentive waiting staff but sadly lacking knowledge of the meat they are serving. The eel starter lacked finesse and balance. As for the main course I was served the wrong cut twice, incorrectly cooked both times. When you add this to the details like dirty glasses and having to ask for cutlery for your main course (no steak knives?) it does not make for an enjoyable evening especially at the prices they charge for what is not the best quality beef. As this was a birthday celebration meal as well it really made for a disappointing evening.
