A double birthday celebration. It was a first time visit for me, my two daughters having visited a few times before and loved it. Really different. Excellent food and helpful staff. A really nice evening.

Food was lovely - quality ingredients, well cooked. Service was a bit rough though. The main waitress made some weird comments about the vegan menu. I asked the sommelier some questions about the wine to which he responded that he didn't know because he didn't drink. A couple of the things we ordered fell between the gaps between different staff. All in all, they could do with getting a good maître d in to whip the team into shape. You expect better service for the prices they charge.

Good reception, service, food, presentation, drinks, ambience, but portions are not large. Hence prices are on the high side. Quite busy on Friday night.

Went early in the evening, so it was rather noisy with families with young children playing around us, but aside from that - a very helpful waitress and very good food.

Very expensive and poor customer experience. Nice decor and good food. Definitely not recommended. Most reviews refer to this restaurant bring over priced and some have also experienced the rudeness of the management.

Came for a birthday meal which was our second visit. The 1805 is by far the best Chinese restaurant that we have used the food is second to none and the setting is excellent, the staff are attentive but not intrusive. We will definitely be back.

Lovely fresh food, very tasty & delicious, great service surprised it wasn’t busy for a Thursday evening in early December. Only negative... it was a tad too expensive to go there other than for a special occasion. Don’t mind paying for good food but would like to be able to afford to go more often & think they would be busier if they slightly reduced their prices.

Great atmosphere but very noisey. Food was delicious and plenty of it, however it was very slow service. We had to prompt staff with our empty drink glasses but they were all very busy. Great meal and drinks with friends. Will visit again.

Food and service is excellent but the restaurant design makes it incredibly noisy. The problem is that the the walls and floor are very hard flat surfaces which look great but reflect the sound back into the restaurant. There is a false ceiling which also adds a sort of echo effect to the noise.

This place should have more people in it. The place was a little empty but I can’t imagine why as the food was absolutely amazing and the service and drinks were also top quality. The duck with truffle sauce, crispy prawns with cashew and dry chilli and the soft shell crab were particular highlights but honestly, everything was delicious! Will definitely be back and would definitely recommend.

What we most disliked was the noise. It is minimally furnished with hard floors and no curtains, therefore there is nothing to absorb sound. The restaurant was practically empty on a Monday lunchtime, but we found that the noise of people chatting and laughing at nearby tables meant that we couldn’t hear each other. All the diners had been put at window tables. Next time we will ask to be away from other people. There was plenty of room.
