"The only let down for here which is a real shame is the service provided by the guy who takes your food orders at the counter."
"The steak was really poor. Mine came out on a skillet that was so much hotter than my partner's that it was smoking and I couldn't touch it for at least 5 minutes."
"Not worth £28.68, bitty chips and fish plain and flavourless."
"Vodka and Diet Coke £9.05, over priced."
"Plus the set menu have increased.5 of us ate almost £200.very disappointed."
