The restaurant bar is no longer called Barbarella's, and changed some months ago! Some staff changes have also been made, but the chef remains the same and consequently the menu is very similar and just as tempting/appetising.

Situated in the centre of town makes it easy to find and parking can be found not too far away. The menu is varied and the food has always been beautifully cooked and presented. Staff are friendly and service is excellent. Would recommend both lunchtime and evening meals.

Warm and friendly reception on a hot summer's evening. Greatly enjoyed the giant prawns on sour dough toast but a little disappointed in the sharing sea platter dish. We shall return.

The place was really busy so it was a little slow to get our menus and then the order. All our food was delicious. we had a table by the door so some of us were on a low sofa and others on window seats raised up, not ideal to reach your dinner or chat but we really enjoyed the overall experience.

Our first visit and we had a warm welcome from the manager. The place has a nice ambience and decor. The food was excellent and very tasty. I had steak with saute potatoes and roasted vegetables and it was one of the nicest I have had done to perfection. Would highly recommend!

Interesting menu. Imaginative and well executed cooking. Could do with more regular height tables though - bit of a clamber to sit on the high stool! Please serve your meals on plates - they have been invented specifically for eating meals off.

For what you pay you don't get a lot or enough for your money and the staff are a little snobby depending on if your face fits not a great or terrible place but no value for money in either food or service

Cosy,warm and welcoming place with great choices on the menu and specials board, also fine drinks selection. Very enjoyable experience and great value as well. Choice of seating from more formal to real relaxation on the arm chairs or sofas I just wish it was nearer home ,wouldn’t eat anywhere else when visiting Buxton.

Went here a couple of years ago when visiting Buxton and it is still every bit as good. The food is first rate, sensibly priced, and there is a choice of decent wines to help it all down. Highly recommended

We had a thoroughly enjoyable evening to celebrate my husband's birthday. The staff were so welcoming and obliging and the surroundings were relaxed and special. The food was to die for! I recommend the Vietnamese salad for an exceptional meal. Thanks for making the day such a success!
