    The service was spectacular, the olives, rib eye and the chocolate bombe were exceptional. The stand outs were certainly the mocktails. Especially the boba tea! Excellent value and decor. This is the first time there and will certainly not be the last! Highly recommended!

    We had a delicious meal and great service. My only niggle was you pay £38 for a steak with no sides! I do think that’s a bit naughty… and then the sides arrived and the mashed swede and carrot was like a babies portion in the smallest of pots. Steak sauce £4.25 😳 I think for the everyday Joe Bloggs it’s a restaurant you can only go to on a very special occasion.
