    Meeting with American Cousins for 1st time - everything OK until the Live Music started- not their fault - they were good - but volume killed the conversation so we had to leave.

    Nice food and location was as expected , didn’t like the condiments/dips were very cold compared to the food. Service even when not very busy was very pushy, needed a little more time to enjoy the food .

    Food portions and quality were amazing. We had the BBQ burger, Cobb salad with grilled chicken, and the Mac n cheese. All perfect, fresh, massive and delicious. Service was speedy, efficient, and impeccable. Ambience fun and vibrant. Value for money is good even if slightly expensive, but you’re paying for the experience and brand as well, and the food lives up to the price. You leave happy and full.

    Arrived 15 mins earlier told table not ready come back 15 mins. Went back at correct time of booking to be shown table. Where we were surprised to see loads of tables free not sure why had to wait. Waiter poor, English poor and not attentive. Waited eternity to actually pay bill. We are seasoned hard rock fans , attending restraint's in several countries. This was by far the most dull Hard Rock ever. Lacking significant memorabilia. Tables crammed too close. Just rubbish really. Avoid!

    Food was ok. No forks on table so we had to ask for silverware before we could eat the appetizer. Took awhile to get the check to pay. Very loud inside. The music could be turned down a notch so you could hear the person at your table talking.
