Food & Drinks

"Wouldn’t advice getting the smashed brownie for desert; there was hardly anything to it."
"Drinks were nothing special."
"Terrible service at such a highly regarded restaurant."
"The food all tasted like it had been bought from a supermarket and warmed up."
"What sounded delicious on the menu was, without doubt one of the most underwhelming and disappointing meals I've ever been confronted with. Inedible."

"Quiet during the day and felt a little souless."
"This bar looks lovely on the outside and the pics on Google maps make it look lovely too but it wasn't that nice inside."
