   Service was a little sketchy, staff too busy engaging with regulars at the bar, we had to chase for drinks

   A wonderful experience! The food here is divine and such great value for money - would highly recommend the scallops, king prawns in chilli and honey and the chorizo in red wine, but all the plates we ordered were fantastic. The food was brought out impressively quick and the service was good throughout. Would dine here again in a heartbeat!

   We had high expectations but it just didn't live up to the mostly great reviews. We were seated close to the door , I asked the bar person if we could move to the adjacent seats ( which had 4 seats) and told no as they were expecting guests . Two people arrived ( not 4 that I assumed was the reason we were refused) . She did offer a heater which didn't materialise . She was surly faced the whole time we were there. I mean not one smile to anyone at the bar being served . There was no music and the place looked like it could do with brightening up. We ordered our food and it arrived less than 5 minutes later ! I felt we were in McDonald's tbh. Most of the dishes were just room temperature and the mushroom tasted like they had being laying for a while. Other customers had them and they looked lovely. The young server was a pleasant girl . Toilets were clean but smelled awful . We will not be back sadly

   Food and service was good. We were advised it was a busy night and informed of a slight delay, which as a party of 9 on a Saturday evening was not a problem.

   Arrived at the venue, told sharply where our seat was with no welcome. Service was poor, had to wait an hour for our food with no explanation until I asked the bar tender who was apologetic, an update about the situation regarding the food would have been nice. The food itself was nice, the 4 “regulars” squashed in next to us, yelling like the place was a sports bar wasn’t as nice. Far too loud for the setting, disrupted not only our table but another table close to us, with no staff intervention, instead they received more smiles and attention than any other table. In short, really nice food, ruined by a ‘clique attitude’ from staff and regulars. A shame for an independent venue, the Nando’s we had the day after delivered a more attentive service, which sealed this review for me.

   Fantastic food & service. Very loud and struggled to converse which spoilt our overall experience.
