Food Quality
Pros:
"The lamb was amazing and the cocktails were beautifully made."
"The steak was fantastic...one of the best I've ever had."
"The buttermilk chicken wings in a sticky bbq rum sauce served with celery and blue cheese dip were absolutely delicious and filling."
"The fish in particular was fabulous - white and juicy and the batter was crisp and thin."
"The food was great again (I had ham hock scotch egg followed by the roast beef)."
"Starters mussels n scallops out of this world."
"The food is all freshly made and tastes amazing."
Cons:
"Poor quality food."
"The potatoes were really really dry and didn't taste of much, the gravy was tasteless."
"The mains were not great by any means - the lamb dinner did not have mint sauce as advertised, and it didn't melt in the mouth like any good lamb should."
"It came out dry, flavourless."
"Only problem was neither steak we ordered was cooked the way we wanted it (one overcooked, one a bit undercooked) which was a shame."
"The fish was mainly butter and a very small piece which you had to look for."
"The toast with the mussels was toasted to a crisp... you couldn't do that in this case."
Service
Pros:
"Superb service."
"Staff were very attentive and service was quite fast."
"Our waiter Juan was very friendly and helpful."
"Annie our server was helpful and engaging and was kind enough to take a picture for us too!"
"Staff were superb, attentive, friendly but not overbearing."
"Our server was Josh who was very attentive and polite."
"Fantastic, from the second we walked in, the staff were amazing and attentive."
Cons:
"After that server wasn't particularly attentive, one of our party had to ask for more water etc."
"The waitress came across as frustrated and curt when faced with the minute number of questions (two or three maximum) that we asked about the food."
"Got order wrong."
"The waiter never came over to ask if our meals were ok."
"Only negative was the waitress telling us the portions were small so to order more side dishes."
"We were seated inside in an alcove without another patron in sight. Basically seated and forgotten."
"The service was slow we waited 45 minutes between our starter and main."
Atmosphere
Pros:
"Understated from the outside but utterly beautiful once you go in and especially upstairs."
"Atmosphere was cosy and sophisticated."
"It has a great feel about it without being sniffy."
"The atmosphere was extremely good."
"Good place for a romantic setting."
"Nice surroundings and atmosphere."
"The ambience is cosy and atmospheric."
Cons:
"The room was rather chilly just above our allocated table and we were told the visible air conditioning machine could not be turned down for health reasons."
"However we were sat in a small upstairs room packed with people which was dark, loud, hot and claustrophobic."
"Inconvenienced by a very noisy Golden Wedding Anniversary party."
"Slightly strange atmosphere, very squashed in on our table for 2 and with a particularly odd selection of reimagined musak not helping the ambience."
"To start with there was no atmosphere, no vibe. The waiters looked like bus conductors but were not as personable."
"And to say it was New Years Eve there were no table decorations or party poppers etc."
"My only issue is instead of playing nice gentle jazz or classical music they played pop song covers like you hear in top shop and HnM, made us think it was a chain restaurant when we walked in and kinda took away some of the atmosphere."
Value
Pros:
"Incredible value too."
"Reasonably priced (wine very expensive at £10 for a medium glass)."
"The food was top quality for a very reasonable price as well."
"In 2023 where value for money is tough to find, 2 Sundays lunches with a Glass of Wine each and change from £50 felt like a bargain."
"The food was delicious and came out so quick."
"The Sunday set menu was reasonably priced and absolutely delicious."
