"It's very loud, almost club like."
"Music is TOO LOUD. You can't hear the person next to you."
"No entertainment whilst we was seated and music kept cutting in and out."
"This is a great example of spending way too much money on the exterior and completely forgetting about the interior."
Value

"They had the cheek to charge us for the side that was returned and never replaced."
"You are paying a premium for this."
"Sides again are from £5 minimum which is significantly overpriced for thin French fries."
"For £65 for 2 people you can definitely get better service, food and quality."
"The price of the food was unnecessarily higher than similar restaurant in that area."
"Paying £200 plus for 4 people for such average standard food, was beyond disappointing."
