Cons:

• "Service was very poor; it took over an hour to receive our mains from placing our order to being served, our water bottles were always empty."
• "The quality of service I would give 3 stars. The quality of food 4 stars. They are decent - just not worth the million pounds they charge."
• "Had to ask for cutlery that we didn't have which took a long time to reach us. By the time our bottle of wine came we were halfway through our meal."
• "Absolutely horrendous, avoid at all costs! Booked in for breakfast for a friend's 30th, was shown to our table and then after that we were completely ignored."
• "The waiters couldn’t have been less bothered with serving. It was quite embarrassing as I had taken a guest who had come over from abroad."
