Food was lovely, great atmosphere. There was a live singer that was a little too loud when your trying to have a chat but other than that no negatives

The food was absolutely amazing (as always), the live singer was great entertainment, she got the crowd involved, and people were up dancing and laughing. Fantastic night all round!

We went on a Saturday lunch and there were quite a few noisy children. The food was very tasty and the service was good.

Important Update:

Quandoo is closing down. This is a planned, phased process and our platform remains available until 30 September 2026.

Table not ready on arrival. Couldn't get a drink at the bar. Slow service. When we got the meals to the table, waitress didn't know what the meals were so as there was a big group it meant that some got the wrong Dinners. Was warned prior to the date, although very late warning that a set menu was in place. Frustrating as it was a hike in price from the menu prices. I mentioned this to the owner/manager to be then told I should have just asked for the menu prices on arrival. Definitely won't be going back.

Food was good , but service was terrible , manager was not only rude to the waitresses but also me when I questioned the bill and also said the experience was awful , I would not recommend this restaurant at all especially when there are better ones close by

A nice touch was that we were given the choice of two tables. Next time we’ll choose the longer table for extra room- plates are very large!

Was the best as always. It lived up to expectations with new guests. The only slight issue was that the live music was rather loud - which I do understand for everyone being able to hear. She was very talented but being as close as we were, it was hard to have conversations. Such a wonderful place and staff.

I booked through quandoo for 7pm. Arrived at black and red and it was fully booked, they hadn't received the booking. Just as i thought the night was ruined, they made a table available. It was a good night. Fantastic meal, good live entertainment. I will book directly next time and not through quandoo.

My meal was fine but my girlfriend got food poisoning, she had the carbonara and a bowl of slop that was supposed to be rice pudding. She vomited and had diorea shortly after we left the restaurant. Also they leave the door wide open in the evening so diners get the cold breeze while eating the food. Overall it was a poor night out.

A very clean and welcoming environment. The staff were friendly and polite, they liked a bit of banter too. The food was excellent and we weren’t rushed. The waiters didn’t hover around, but equally they did make sure everything was to our satisfaction. Great food and very affordable and competitive prices. We would definitely recommend as we were recommended too

Had a great evening meal with two friends last week. The food was excellent, there was plenty of choice, including some dishes I'd not heard of before, and service very attentive and friendly. It was nice to sit outside on a warm evening, and was only spoilt by the usual Southend lowlife ambling past, culminating in a serious fight almost right next to the restaurant 😮
