Cons:

• "The only slight quibble was that the monkfish came out lukewarm."
• "The service and atmosphere were great but the food was overpriced especially given the cuts and portions."
• "Service was great, just as one would expect from an upmarket restaurant. Servers would monitor our table, top up as needed and check everything is ok."

Food Quality

Pros:

• "The food was delicious and well presented. Their nut and gluten free options are fantastic."
• "Amazing food. We had the experience menu, so the small plates just kept coming."
• "It was tasty, portions generally large. The starters were varied and colourful."
• "The food was divine. Our host made the whole experience memorable and the ambiance was perfect."

Cons:

• "One of the dishes on the shared Veggie platter was slightly underdone."
• "The food however was a little hit and miss. Calamari fritti and marinated prawns were simply delicious but top tip - please serve with a wedge of citrus."
• "The halibut fi-har was a travesty. Such a fabulous piece of fish smothered in what tasted like a mild masala sauce."

Ambiance

Pros:

• "Fantastic friendly service, lovely busy ambience, stunning cocktails."
• "The ambience is very warm, welcoming and cozy."
• "Romantic and cute ambiance & fantastic service."
• "The atmosphere is perfect."

Cons:

• "We were sat by the kitchen/bar area which is not advised as it's very loud by the kitchen and lots of staff constantly moving around you to get past."
• "The only thing I'd criticise is that the first two courses were a bit too close together, but that's a minor thing and the food was outstanding."
• "The place was buzzy and nearly full while the town was really quiet, always a good sign. Had the Experience taster menu plus a few extra dishes as the Admin is no meat or dairy."

Value for Money

Pros:

• "The food is very original, and well conceived and cooked. For this quality (and quantity) of food the prices are very good."
• "As an added bonus, the ownership being what it is - there is a particularly good choice of music as well."
• "They had a DJ playing good music throughout the time you are there."
• "The prices are fair, not overpriced. Best money spent on food."

Cons:

• "The prices are quite high but the food and coctails are excellent and definitely worth it."
• "Price is a little on the high side, but you are paying for quality or a special occasion."
• "The portions of the dishes are not too big. I bought a set meal for two, but the potatoes were not very good."
