    Way understaffed and the few who were working seemed to be inexperienced. Food was good value and tasty. Setting is amazing although hard to build ambience is such a voluminous space.

    Usually more pleasant but not today. Meal could have been more enjoyable without the added distraction of fruit flies flying all over our table area or landing on our food. I ended up with several insect bites.

    Beautiful old building. Open ceiling leads to a lot of background noise. Good food, which is reasonable priced for standard and quality. Would go back for lunch.

    Ordered the express lunch as it was during my lunch break. Seated straight away in a lovely corner by the window. Staff were friendly & efficient. Order taken & food delivered within 10 mins. Food was delicious & definitely good value for money. Would thoroughly recommend.

    We were forgotten about most of the evening. Waited 20 minutes to be told to pay on the way out. I visited 1 year ago and the experience this year was a significant disappointment. Service was subpar and the food was average. I recalled the menu last to be much more elevated.
