Cons:

• "However, I wished the waitress could be more sincere to customers."
• "The waiting staff informed us that there will be a charge of £7 for bringing our own birthday cake in and we agreed to that. Intentionally or not, she never mentioned ‘£7 PER HEAD’."
• "Service was a little slow, but it didn’t detract from the experience."
• "Really disappointed for the amount of money spent. The service wasn't really much service."
• "It was impossible to get the team's attention without getting up to ask, which is unacceptable when prices are what they are."
• "We were late for our reservation (our fault). But they gave our table, charged us 80£ cancellation fee(!) and weren't willing to at least let us sit the remainder of our alloted time/wave the fee."
• "Service unfortunately not worth what we were billed for, by some way."
• "The service was lacklustre (we initially sat for ages with no food ordered or drinks)."

Food Quality

Pros:

• "The food is, without a shadow of a doubt, exceptionally mouthwatering."
• "Exceptional! The combination of traditional Sunday roast with the inventive and perfectly balanced and complimentary flavours was both refreshing and delicious."
• "The cote de beouf is phenomenal with the different sauces making each mouthful a new sensation."
• "Exceptional meat dishes, the schnitzel and the short beef rib were amazing."
• "Kentucky Fried Mussels, Sirloin Steak and their Sourdough with Chicken Schmaltz were the stand out dishes for me."
• "Michelin star quality of food, in a laid back, welcoming environment."
• "Very simple menu with locally sourced ingredients, every dish is cooked to perfection."
• "First meal out in and a while and was looking forward to this one. It was superb!"

Cons:

• "The sharing steak was decent but not £95 worth and the starters were ok, sides were bang average."
• "Texture for both our octopus and babyback ribs wasn’t tender enough. Rather chewy."
• "I’ve had better steak at miller and carter! We had the Cote de Boeuf to share. This was very fatty and a bit of a let down."
• "The food was ok, above average for sure, but no better than that."
• "My main consisted of two rolls of simultaneously rubbery yet clay-cold monkfish in a broth -- that was it."
• "Definitely well overpriced and no way near Michelin standards."
• "The food was a bit basic if I'm honest, Steak was just ok, not the best I've had."
• "Everything came out burnt to a black crisp, charcoal coating on everything."
