    Lovely place with good food and a reasonable price. It was a quiet Thursday evening but will try again at the weekend.

    The place looks nice, staff are friendly, warm and very accommodating. However really disappointed with the food. For the price we paid I expected freshly cooked food - not a sit down version of something I could have got from the Chinese takeaway around the corner. Won’t be returning for food.

    It is the second time that we have eaten at The Optimist The food was amazing and the staff extremely pleasant, constantly asking if everything was ok and did we need any more drinks. Would definitely go back and definitely recommend it.

    This fairly new(to me) Asian fusion restaurant was truly outstanding. The interior very stylish, the service perfect and the food very tasty. Can only recommend it
