"Music blaring to the point where conversation was impossible."
"Samba element was a girl grating at your table to music so loud you couldn't hear yourself think."

Facility & Decor
Pros:
"This place is amazing on the inside."
"The place was decked out tastefully and looked great."
"The building and interior are beautiful."
"It's set in an old church and they've managed to keep many of the original features."
"The venue itself is just phenomenal. Exposed brickwork, mood lighting and stained glass to name a few eye-catching areas."
"Most beautiful restaurant as is in a converted church."
"Fantastic venue, inside a disused, but renovated church. Dancers on the old altar. Midnight is just amazing."
Cons:
"Club is situated in the old church building and this felt very wrong. Owners of the club decided to keep lots of religious and sacred objects which is offending religious feelings of some guests."
"Floors and table were sticky and very run down."
"Its ok but looks a bit tired, sticky tables, toilets a bit shabby. Whole place looks unloved."
"What used to be a classical and beautiful experience that celebrated the building, has been turned into a grim, chaotic atmosphere, we couldn't even have a conversation."
"Left a mark. You walk in and realise it was once an aged church."
"Still looks like a church inside, but is now a bar/restaurant."
"We were a hen party of 10 and spent £500 on a booth to be put right by the toilets!"
