Cons:
"My only small issue was the calamari was quite chewy."
"Starters were OK, calamari had a few rubbery pieces."
"Cod with herbs served with tempura scampi, garlic and chive cream sauce... so dry and chewy I couldn't swallow."
"Duck very dry and hard. Felt like it had been sat there hours."
"Ordered pizza which turned out to be more like focacia. Very dry, no tomato base."
"Was here for my 40th, heard great things. But the pizza's where soggy, need to be well done."
"Calamari was not nice. Batter wasn't crispy, the calamari was very bland and some pieces still very hard."

"On this night it was quite busy... The service was quite slow."
"Food was great ... service wasn't the best .. staff was lovely when you actually got their attention."
"The thing that lets it down a bit is the service. For example, booked for 7.30 this evening and or table wasn't ready until nearly 8."
"Once seated we then waited a really long time for a member of staff to come over to take our drinks order."
"Never again felt like they just wanted you in and out as fast as possible even before your all finished there hovering around your table wanting to take your plates."
"The food was very nice, but we all felt very rushed with our meals, plates taken away as we'd just eaten our last mouthful."
"Although the food and service was very good l will not be going back. The noise level was appalling."
"Shocking experience for my sons 4th birthday, booked 2 weeks prior for the 25th June, as we was greeted at the door to be told the booking wasn’t booked in."

"Went early 1815 Friday, can only say Superb, very busy but seated rapidly.Our waiter was very attentive and professional."
Cons:
"As the set out of the restaurant is open plan it was extremely loud."
"It was a busy Friday evening for our first trip here. Loved the food and service here but the noise is uncomfortable."
"Only issue we had was that it was very loud in the restaurant but I’m thinking this was because it was SO BUSY."
"There are no curtains or soft furnishings and it’s a hard floor throughout so there is absolutely nothing to absorb any sound making conversation really difficult."
"Visited for the first time this evening and unfortunately very disappointed, found the surroundings cold, clinical and too bright."
"We also found the place very loud, music and people talking over it, not a place to go for a romantic dinner or a relaxing meal and chat with friends."
"Although the food and service was very good l will not be going back. The noise level was appalling."
"It was well below their standards... felt like we where in a canteen where everyone appeared to be shouting didn't feel relaxed at all."
