Cons:

• "By 7pm it was packed - and it is rammed. Not much room to move between tables so get used to waiting staff squeezing by."
• "We sat there for 10 minutes with no welcome, no menu, no drinks no nothing got fed up and left again."
• "While it has gained sophistication, it seems to have lost some of its rustic charm."

• "Expensive restaurant, doesn't worth the price."

Value

• "Service was great but the meat was not so tasty and overpriced."
• "A bit pricey and food took a while to arrive."
