Great service and the food was fantastic. Amazing value for money. My only comment would be that the background music could have been turned down just a little bit. It wasn’t overly annoying,but if the restaurant had been any busier it would have been harder to hear the conversation we were having. Great place to visit and we will certainly be returning.

The restaurant is really good We enjoyed the food a lot However, when we got the restaurant they told me I didn’t book a table as this APP didn’t send them any confirmation? Luckily they had a table for us Maybe this is something you need to look into it

Coffee was cold and tasteless Fillet steak chewy, not as expected for price Large rowdy party of people, (not staff's fault) but staff still put all other customers crammed into the one half of restaurant with them while other half empty, no elbow room to eat, and couldn't talk to own partner because of noise. Probably won't go back.

An excellent meal in a pleasant atmosphere. Greeted with a smile and treated as guests rather than customers. I recommend Shorties to one and all.
