    Lucas is hands down one of the most charismatic and magnetic waiters I’ve ever met. My friend and I come to Comptons regularly, and we always hope to be seated in his section. When we’re not, we’ll even ask to be moved to the outdoor seating just to say hello. Your restaurant is lucky to have him, and if I ever opened a place (which I won’t), he’d be the first person I’d hire. We absolutely love him.

    As usual the team members were friendly, but busy busy. The service seemed a little slower than usual, not sure whether it was because we’d opted for the set menu, and open menu diners were being prioritised??? We had to ask for our glass of Prosecco (included in the £29 deal) when we were approached for a drinks. We were asked to order all three courses at the start of the meal which I thought was unusual, maybe again because we were ordering the set menu, somehow didn’t feel right. Generally the food was a great standard. One of our party being a vegan diner commented on how refreshing the menu was, even the choices available on the set menu, then after the meal how nice the food was. One diner of the party ordered the sirloin steak main course, the meat was not particularly tender and was found to be more gristly than would usually be expected, and in fairness to the restaurant, the £6 supplement for this option was deducted. Would definitely visit again, but with different choices.
