Ambience

Cons:

  • "To start with, the restaurant is not like it looks in the photos, it looks like a late night airport lounge."
  • "The decor is beautiful but the pink lights were not what I wanted whilst eating and the music was so loud I could hardly hear my guests."
  • "Impossible to talk doing dinner. The music is almost as loud as in a nightclub."
  • "Far too loud. Apparently Thursday and Friday night are DJ night and as dinner venue it doesn't work. Having to shout across the table to hear your dining companion is not a great atmosphere."
  • "The lighting atmosphere is too bright for a party set up, and the music is too loud for seated dinner."
  • "Music a tad to loud, not in synch with the overall ambiance."
  • "Was sat downstairs which was nearly empty and lacked any atmosphere."

  • "Price wise, it is comparable to other options in the area though slightly more affordable."

Cons:

  • "Good restaurant, but pricey."
  • "Mind you, there is a 15% service charge and for those prices and quality it is a little too much!!!"
  • "For the quality of the food it does not approach being reasonable value for money."
  • "The wines were so over priced."
  • "#winelist all overpriced."
  • "Insanely over priced. Style over substance."
  • "Very, very pricy. Paid £200 for a quick lunch for three."
