• "The atmosphere was absolutely atrocious, with the waiter being extremely rude to us all."

Value for Money

Pros:

• "As a goodwill gesture they did not charge us for the desserts."
• "The complimentary bread was Amazing."
• "Would recommend the 'bottomless' wine, good if you have to go shopping afterwards 😜"
• "The sun set menu was worth it. 28£ for 2 courses."

Cons:

• "The salmon steak with two small potatoes is def not a main dish worth £32."
• "Everything on my plate I can cook for less than £8 so the marks up is insane for the portion size."
• "We still paid almost £400 for 3 people and left disgusted."
• "Portions are tiny. We counted 7 fries, costing £10.00!!"
• "The bill came to £670 for 4 people, this was including a few cocktails also, which again, were so overpriced at £16 each."
• "The portion sizes were abysmal and not made clear when we ordered."
• "The steak was cooked ok lacked a crust which is a vital part of the steak also potatoes were undercooked the chimichurri tasted like oil and water however our waiter did change it and gave me pepper corn sauce which was better overall big let down due to the price we are paying for the food the steaks are all overpriced."
• "Whilst the food was overall of a decent standard, there was no way it matched the ridiculous prices."
• "The chips cost over A POUND PER CHIP. Yes, 9 pieces of potato for £10."
