Food Quality
Pros:

"Had the butchers block, real yum & cooked to perfection."
"The food was absolutely beautiful and we couldn't fault a thing."
Cons:
"Lost a star because a) Dessert was not up to the mark. Crème brûlée needs to be warm but this had obviously not been torched properly."
"Was choking on a tough bite of my steak and Grace was so amazing and gentle."
"The parsnips were hard, roasties were hard, carrots were hard, cauliflower was bland... the turkey was soggy."
"Despite booking we sat nearly an hour after our time. The food was mostly very nice, bar the chips which tasted as if they had been out for a while."
"Both our medium rare steaks were as tough as old boots and the chunky chips were soggy."
"My friend had it (Mac and cheese), it was Gorgeous from my taster of it."
"The steak was great, however, I ordered medium but got a well done steak which prevented me from truly enjoying the steak."
"I was expecting the steak to be much better in flavour and quality. It was just average."

Cons:

"Our food was lovely, hubby had the 16oz Ribeye, perfectly cooked. Desserts were gorgeous. Good choice of wines. Our server was Joy, she was very friendly and helpful and attended us in a timely manner."
"The manager just running around like a headless chicken, instead of helping staff."
"One point of criticism: my English is not that good and the waiter had little understanding. He just kept talking without me understanding him."
"Where we was seated, was two bins, one was overflowing, eventually emptied, no toilet roll in the ladies."
"We were celebrating my husband's 70th birthday. Lovely welcome at the front desk."
"Ellie (waitress) was very helpful and knowledgeable. Downside was nearly getting wiped out by the heavy glass door when entering and then standing there waiting for a member of staff for over 5 minutes."
"The restaurant was very busy, we got drinks, not sure it's what they washed glasses in, but my drink was awful, very flat, returned it and asked for a replacement."

"b) seating wasn’t the best, a bit cramped"
"We had booked 2 weeks in advance and looking forward to something a bit special to celebrate a new job, but were seated in lower area near stairs and kitchen not on main floor."
"Visited on a Sunday evening an the restaurant was extremely busy. Food took longer than usual but was still the same brilliant quality. Our server was Ryan and he was extremely attentive."
"This was my first visit to this restaurant and the tables were so tightly packed together it was like eating at another restaurant chain that seats everyone on long tables."
"We were a little indecisive haha! We had the cocktails and salads which were fab. I would definitely recommend this restaurant location, great music to add to the atmosphere as well as being aesthetically pleasing."
"The restaurant was clean and decorated so beautifully. I was seated immediately and greeted by everyone with a warm smile."
"Where we was seated, was two bins, one was overflowing, eventually emptied, no toilet roll in the ladies."
