  • "Wanted to try some nice grill and came here in hope of pleasant taste and the service. My first impression was the customer service which was awful and the girl at the bar seems unprofessional and rude to her customers."
  • "The service was overbearing, the food was dry and appeared like it had been reheated several times."

Ambiance

Pros:

  • "Atmosphere was lacking, and it was a bit dark during the day, I'd imagine the evening atmosphere is probably a lot better."

  • "I'm glad I changed my mind and came to this place, as soon as me and family walked through the door we could smell the food, service was wonderful the food was exceptional the place is clean and atmospheric."

  • "Nice and clean place, separate booths for family, good menu for vegetarian and non vegetarian, quick service tasty food, and good selection of beers good place to visit."
  • "Since opening this place has been delivering such quality food. I come here for most football matches and the mixed grill is one of the best I’ve tasted in the West Midlands! Highly recommend"

Cons:

  • "It's not really very family oriented, it's very male dominated and loud, there are a number of large screen televisions surrounding the establishment and so the loud noise hits you from every direction, I imagine it's even more intense when a football match is on."
  • "Didn’t go for the Indian so we ordered fish and chips and a burger. In a nutshell....not nice at all."
  • "It was the first time I went to this restaurant. Due to it being late I needed the bathroom. I stopped off at the restaurant and thought I'd go in to use the toilet. NEVER EVER GO TO THIS PLACE."
  • "The place is great the atmosphere is excellent but needs attention."
  • "Portions massive. The building and interior is very nice. I found the staff not as polished as I would like. A strange thing kept happening where they would carry food through a door labelled for the toilets which was a bit concerning."
  • "Great menu but disappointing service got one order completely wrong send back and then again wrong."
  • "Slow and poor service. Food finally arrived only to be incomplete. Steaks overcooked to what we requested. No steak knives apart from ordinary knives. No forks supplied at all until asked for. Lack of selection of spirits. Very disappointed and will definitely never go back."
  • "Under new management for 2021. The food is now worse here (2 stars worse). The veg mixed grill used to be more varied. Everything was exceptionally salty. Plus point is they now have Cobra on tab."
  • "We came in with a group of 8. We were seated and placed our orders, waited around an hour before asking how long our food would be. Apparently it was going to be another hour+ for our starters and they weren't sure about the mains due to a 'plate shortage'."
  • "The service was overbearing, the food was dry and appeared like it had been reheated several times. Overall not a pleasant experience as it has taken myself and a friend two days to recover through illness. I would not recommend this place to an enemy."
