Food was excellent. Service was hit and miss. Slow to take orders and bring drinks. Struggled to try and get bill and then didn’t come back to take payment! But would return!

Got there early but was seated straight away. Food was good. Noise levels are high when busy. Hard to have a conversation at our table. Wait for bill was long as very busy at that time. Overall happy to recommend this place as food is great

The starter and main for £14 was very good value for money. The service was excellent and though the food was good, it was not quite up to a six star rating. This was my second visit and I would definitely recommend a visit.

We went for a birthday celebration, the restaurant was very busy but there is plenty of room between tables so it was cramped. The staff were very friendly and attentive and the food was excellent. We will definitely be visiting again.

Lovely, comfortable restaurant! You don’t feel like you’re on top of each other like you do in some places, staff and food was great. Will definitely go again, wanted to leave a tip but did not have any cash on us and they didn’t add gratuities option to the bill.

This is the third time I have eaten here and I can't fault it. The steaks are to die for. So succulent and tasty. The sides are large enough for two people and very tasty. Staff are friendly and good ambience in the pretty restaurant.
