   The staff were very supportive and helpful. Particularly the lady at the bar (she had curly hair). Unfortunately I didn’t get her name but she went the extra mile to make sure I was happy with my food. The food in itself was filling but nothing extraordinary. The drinks particularly the mocktails were nice.

   Great food but No draught beer available. Staff said they were short staffed. A number of items not available on the menu. Staff seemed unbothered by the lack of items . Said they were sorry but obviously didn’t really mean it! Light system on the tables a great idea if the staff are looking in your direction (which they mostly weren’t ) so we ended up having to try and catch their eye or get up and ask them to come over . Only 3 tables occupied when we went so it wasn’t as if they were busy!

   Restaurant is very pretty; so aesthetic and cosy. Food wasn’t great. Expensive for what it was (had 3 plates for £25) Dirty fries were soaked in bbq sauce; way too much and the padron peppers were flavourless; salt would have been needed and much more feta. Several things were missing from the menu but I guess Saturdays are busy so that makes sense.

   Lovely environment, the team worked hard to keep us watered and feed quickly and the bill even though not cheap was reasonable.

   It is very rare I go to a restaurant and the steak is cooked perfect and this was just that! Excellent.

   I was slightly disappointed with the experience overall. The food was not as nice as I expected and there wasn’t anything special about the setting unfortunately.

   The food was disappointing, its well overpriced, very basic and was simply, not enjoyable! We opted for the 4 dishes for £40, with two Proseccos in the deal. I informed the staff that the first glass was flat so they happily replaced, the second was exactly the same, however they informed me that they could not open another bottle as the bottle they were pouring from was fresh. However it was evident to all that there were no bubbles at all in the Prosecco and even when I pointed this out, they refused to replace, insisting it was a fresh bottle. They did offer a wine instead, which I did appreciate, however was not my preference. The ambience looked initially enticing, particularly from the exterior, however the decor was disappointing inside and somewhat, slightly tacky. We will not be returning to the restaurant and will not be recommending our family and friends to dine here.

   Underwhelming sharer. Quite dry meats which lacked flavour and very minimal portions of sauce which didn’t help. Long drink wait times despite only being 2 other tables in the place. Staff were pleasant which is the only redeeming feature. Definitely a weaker business in the mailbox.
