  • "Staff don't get to keep a penny of their tips which is appalling in the current financial climate."
  • "We ordered starters only for 4 people because there are so many choices. This turned out to be an economical option although that's not really why we did it."
  • "Got there at 7pm, wasn't served until 8:20. Servers seemed annoyed and put out that they had to take our order."
  • "We had the valentines meal which was perfect for us and got to try 2 diff desserts which we usually dont have enough room to fit this in when we dine in, so allround a great meal we also added on a few extra beers to complete the night😉 until we dine in again thanks"
  • "Waited an eternity to order each individual course, had to ask different staff members to firstly open our wine, then give us glasses for it."
  • "Never normally give a bad review on Google, just a one star and leave it at that. But I will make an exception for this place, Book a table and on arrival stood at the door for 15 minutes."
