Atmosphere and Decor
Pros:
"The restaurant is very nice inside, well set out with a calm atmosphere."
"The design of the surroundings were gorgeous, and a nice place to take photos."
"Otherwise, the staff was very friendly and the inside of the restaurant is very nice."
"The atmosphere was great as there were two formals going on at the same time."
"The atmosphere from the minute I stepped through the door was spot on."
"Best thing here was the staff. Really friendly and relaxed, very accommodating."
"The place is classy and expansive yet simplistic enough to be functional."
"The decor was so nice, never been before but we will definitely be returning."
Cons:
"Due to a shortage of staff it appears that the service was generally really slow."
"The only downside was that the atmosphere was way too dark (made us sleepy)."
"The restaurant was quieter however you could hear dull beat background sounding noise."
"As it was a Saturday evening, it was very lively with a DJ at the Bar area."
"The service was fabtabulous! However, the desert that was served to us both did contain nuts."
"The female manager was extremely rude."
"The lady who waited on our table was lovely. Very attentive and friendly. Cocktails were nice, and we enjoyed the 2 for £12. Tables were sticky and cutlery stick to tables."
"My wife and I enjoyed an unusual, but tantalising 'Dinner in the Dark' experience ... whereby we were invited to taste a 3-course menu whilst blind-folded."
Food Quality
Pros:
"The food was very nice, good flavour, hot and fresh. I had pizza the wife had fish."
"The food itself was incredible! The butternut squash soup was lovely."
"The calamari starter and enjoyed it. I had the crispy halloumi and it was nice."
"The desserts were lovely! Gf chocolate torte was incredible and the brownies were great too!"
"Good ambience (especially good for couples). Delicious cocktails (we had a lot of bloody Marys)."
"The food was delicious, the cocktails were really tasty and the staff was so friendly with fast service."
"The food was good and the waiter was very attentive and helpful with my little nephew."
"Food was ok, atmosphere was way too dark (made us sleepy), brought wrong food for my friends main."
Cons:
"The foot was just poor. The lamb chop was over cooked and too small."
"The food was very nice but the portions were too small, if I'm paying £26 for a small piece of lobster it would be nice to get a decent plate of chips, not just a small bowl of them."
"The food was good but average but drinks were very good!"
"The lamb mixed grill was another dish that three of our party had and again disappointed at the quality and amount for the price."
"Our mains were both had steaks and both our fillet and ribeye were heaven. Cooked beautifully and the triple cooked chips really nice."
"Great food and atmosphere but the staff didn’t have a clue what they were doing as regards to the bottomless brunch."
"The food was brilliant, service was great and very friendly."
"They go for the less is more approach, which if the ingredients were of a good standard I'd accept, but if you blindfolded me with 2 plates and asked which food was from here, and which is from Wetherspoons, the only way I would be able to tell would be by the price, assuming someone tells me of course because I can't see anything."

"Service was impeccable, and we felt very cared for."
"It was a great venue, with awesome food and drinks and good service."
"I had a meal with my family and friends to celebrate my birthday. Perfect food, friendly staff, the sitting was spot on!"
Cons:
"Due to a shortage of staff it appears that the service was generally really slow."
