Atmosphere & Ambience

Pros:

• "Great to be back dining at the Peachtree. As always, great atmosphere, friendly attentive staff and scrumptious food!"
• "Went for a family meal with my brother and his fiancee who were visiting from New York so we were a fairly loud group, cracking jokes and laughing all evening, but the staff were great, the atmosphere was relaxed."

Cons:

• "Diabolical - could hear the kitchen staff fighting, despite it being far from where we were sat."
• "Visited Moma which is one of three restaurants in the Peach tree 'complex', the Ramen restaurant for my son's birthday. Food was fantastic, however service was slow and in the main part of the Peach Tree there was a very loud and noisy party going on, with the house DJ being the loudest of them all."
• "We didn't realise it was attached to a disco. Not what we anticipated at all."
• "Sadly on Saturday the staff were busy preparing for a private event."
• "We paid for a Christmas party night but didn't get this experience just a 3 course sit down meal with no atmosphere, expensive drinks."
• "Place had a funny musty smell along wall/divide with old beams. Food was mediocre and disappointing."
• "Don’t bother with the afternoon tea. It’s a mixture of ‘shop bought’ sliced bread sandwiches and mini quiches (amongst other things) prepared badly and sold at way over the odds."

Service

Pros:

• "Great personal service and so helpful regarding my food allergies."
• "Staff moved heaven and earth to make Sunday afternoon tea for me and a few friends."

• "Staff are wonderful food is yummy."
• "Service was fast and polite."
• "Service was quick and the atmosphere relaxed, our waiter, Owen, was friendly and helpful."

Cons:

• "The waiter downright rude."
• "Service is poor, anything requested takes too long to arrive or is forgotten about."
• "No one asked if we required more drinks."
• "The staff were dismissive when I asked about the wait; they considered 40 minutes of wait to be 'a short wait'."
• "No one apologised at first. 3 members of staff at the bar and they were looking elsewhere rather than apologising."
• "Very disappointed that we had to wait over 15mins for two coffees."

Food Quality

• "The meal, gammon steaks, was cooked to perfection."
