• "The whole vibe, decor, colours and flowers - in terms of style and atmosphere I don’t think there’s anything else like it in Watford."

Cons:

• "It’s a beautiful entrance but the crowd is very look at me… I’m drinking a cocktail 🍸"
• "The grills are much smaller than the grills they used to do, it also arrived on an oven tray rather than the extravagant and impressive hanging skewer they are known for."
• "One of the worst restaurants I’ve been to! The music was also too loud, we had to be asked to move as where we were sitting, we couldn’t even hear each other talk!"

• "The setting and decor is lush, with a large roof high flowered tree in the restaurant area."
• "Great for a girls night, we really enjoy coming here. The whole place is great for photos, the decor is beautiful. It's more London prices than Watford, but I think it's worth it."
• "Decor great but disappointed with food. Mediocre lunch and waited quite a while on our table of 11 to all get what we ordered not good value."
