   Terrible attitude of staff after waiting an hour for mains which never course we left they confronted us as we left claiming 20 minutes which was a lie and got aggressive with the lady in the group . Very negative experience we won’t be back

   An ok evening, a nice place, food wasn't great, my partner had the risotto and just tasted like bland rice pudding, very disappointing.

   Honestly, Im not one to ever rate a place down, but the service was so poor. I booked for 8:30pm and decided to come a little earlier for 8:00pm, however they said that our table was not ready, I then came back at 8:30pm and our table was still not ready so we were made to wait an extra 30 minutes even though we were told it would only be a 5 minute wait. Definitely would think twice before going again.

    We were placed at a miniscule table even though it was quiet when we arrived. The service was good, friendly and attentive. However, when my meal arrived, the pasta was barely tepid and seemed to be stuck to the bottom of the bowl. The staff brought me another dish and took my husband`s meal too so that they could keep it warm so we were eating at the same time. The replacement was better, but not what I would call piping hot. We had never eaten there before and will not be going back as it did not seem to be good value for money.
