  • "Food was amazing, I ordered a medium rare steak with chips which arrived after about only 25 minutes which was seared to perfection."

Cons:

  • "The food however; was unfortunately disappointing. For the high prices, I expected the food to be of a much higher quality."

  • "Food was better than expected, but was violently sick for the first time in a decade after eating here so."

Ambience and Atmosphere

Pros:

  • "Such a feel-good restaurant with a lovely atmosphere."
  • "It was a nice looking environment that looked like a traditional American background."
  • "A great experience but we were in a central table which was a bit of a corridor experience."
  • "Popped in for a drink with my partner. Amazing bar staff that altered drinks for us to suit our tastes, and they had great banter!"
  • "First time visiting. Was grateful to get in as a walk-in as it was a spur of the moment visit."
  • "We enjoyed our visit here yesterday. We did not book as we were not planning on dining out. We were on a family trip to the castle."
  • "Visited here a few weeks ago with the family. While it took a while to get to our seats (prime time) I must say that it was a very enjoyable experience."
  • "Every time we go here we have a fantastic time. Caitlin and her staff are so welcoming, thoughtful and friendly."

Cons:

  • "They were hard to get the attention of and we had been seated against a brick wall with limited space for our plates/bowls on our table and hidden away."
  • "Floor and menus were sticky in the main seating area. Toilet was blocked and floor was gross in the bathroom."
  • "The place looked good. Staff seemed ok. But the prices! 22 quid for a burger."
  • "The toilets???? Well, viewing the yellow staining to the gents' urinal was a fitting conclusion to the visit."
  • "I like TGI Fridays but this was the worst visit I've had at any across the country and I would rather go out of county than go back here."
  • "Service was slow, items were missed. I had the cob salad with an avocado and lime dressing. I even asked for an extra dressing but it was just olive oil."
  • "To be honest I wasn't that impressed and that is nothing against the staff. It was nothing special for the price."
  • "The service was terrible one drink at a time some meals was cold never got asked if food was ok. Table not ready but was nearly empty."
