The food was really nice and the set menu was good value. Pate, steak and then chocolate brownie - really tasty. Nice environment, with cosy fire.

The two course option that we had booked and which was listed on the Facebook page the previous AFTERNOON, was not available so we left! This should have been made clear on their website and FB page.

Lovely food and excellent service and my daughter was well catered for with a gluten and dairy free menu. Shame we were squeezed into a table upstairs in a corner near the air vent. Downstairs was beautifully decorated for Christmas and warm.

Excellent meal and great service , would definately recommend this place. Veggie options are available and the food looked wonderful and tastes great too. The prices were not too bad at all and we had starters and mains for two, with a bottle of wine, and paid just over £60.

Good atmosphere, good service and good food. Had the Christmas menu with plenty of choice, the only criticism would be the vegetables, they were hard. Everything else was very good.

The food was absolutely fantastic food, and the staff were attentive. I loved the wide choice of food as there were 4 options for each course on the vegan menu which is hard to find.

A lovely restaurant with a really nice atmosphere. Best to book as it's a busy place. Our food was very tasty, with a good range of options on the menu and we'll definitely be back. A little slow with service if you are sitting up in the mezzanine level but thankfully we weren't in a rush.

The food was delicious, the staff were excellent. My only gripe was that the toilets could do with un update. They were clean enough but a bit worn.

We wanted to treat a very special friend to dinner before she went away. I booked online (very smoorth process and we were greeted warmly on arrival. I've been here a few times and never had a bad experience. Very happy to say that this is still the case. Having all opted for the pre-theatre menu, we had two French onion soups and the soup of the day (Thai Sweet potato & cocount) to start. The French onion was so, so tasty and perfect for a really wintery evening. Mains were Haddock fishcake and two lemon chicken kormas. Again, everything was delicious. So much flavour in the fishcake and the peas sauce and lettuce seemed like a slightly odd accompaniment but was so light, fresh and tasty - perfect compliment. A fruit crumble for dessert and I treated myself to a dessert from the main menu. Devestated that I couldn't finish it! Cheescake with caramelised banana and peanut brittle. Staff were friendly, courteous and gracious. I've previously eaten from their vegan menu and the food has always been beautiful. Can't wait to return!

We made very welcome, even the lighting was adjusted so we could read the menu! We thoroughly enjoyed our meals - one from the pre-theatre menu, the other a la carte. My sea bass was perfectly cooked and worked well with the chorizo salad and hugely generous portion of chips.

Helpful staff, good service, warm welcome, good value. I will score 6 when the pre-theatre menu gets a refresh. But this is a very small issue. Always happy to catch a meal here.

Very helpful staff, however the food didn't quite match our expectations. The vegan of the party enjoyed her meal whilst the rest of us had a very small steak frite portion which was really quite chewy, we've had better from a far cheaper bar down the road. We had opted for 2 courses and were tempted by a dessert but instead of this coming from the same menu it came from the full menu which we weren't aware of until we got the bill! Suppose that's how they make their money.
