Cons:
"First time I was at Stereo I loved their burger. Second time the same dish was disappointing."
"I had a dish which included cauliflower leaves. They were drastically undercooked."
"The pizza texture tasted nothing like a pizza and it was as if a bottle of ketchup was just added to the fluffy flat bread."

"A great atmosphere is included and the staff is super friendly."
Cons:
"We were sat at a small round table barely suitable for a couple."
"A slightly disconcerting walk down the alley to the entrance."
"For a meal though it is too loud for decent conversation as I quite like to be able to hear what people are saying when talking to me."
"Since then it's been too loud really to talk without needing to shout."
"The music is maybe a little loud (makes it harder to hear people in conversations)."
"Note that this place can get loud...to the point of not being able to even have a conversation!"
"For a start the lane you have to go down to access the place is full of bins and stinks of urine."
Value and Pricing
Pros:
"Friendly staff and well priced."
"Fair priced as well and really central for good atmosphere and train/bus links."
"The menu has plenty of options, everything is reasonably priced and you get well sized, filling meals."
"Certain drinks are overpriced though, even the staff agreed!"
"overpriced potato salad."
"Quite pricey for the quantity of food and it wasn't remotely the best vegan I'd had in town."
"Menu could be bigger, with maybe some cheaper options as only got 2 peirogis for £8."
"It's very pricey for such a shabby establishment."
"So disappointed, over £5 for burns baws which was tiny, followed by hot fudge sundae which was basically icecream with a bit of sauce on it, also over £5."
"The drinks were a bit over priced, and the choice wasn't great but the overall experience was excellent."
Management and Operations

"The manager of the restaurant has a great customer focus."
"Great service, fast and friendly staff."
Cons:
"I’ve been going to Stereo for over 20 years and I will never go again."
"Waited nearly 50 minutes for lunch with no explanation why it took so long."
"However doors supposed to open 7pm venue never opened doors until about 7.20pm!!"
"Then the venue manager decided to shut the gig early!!!"
"The manager ruined an otherwise excellent night!!"
"Really not sure why they changed the menu, you use to be spoiled for choice but I really struggled to find anything to eat."
"You always have to wait ages to get your order taken, to get plates taken away and to get the bill."
