Very good food. Friendly service. Fairly quiet, but was a weekday night. Tip: Always check your bill before paying. We were warned about this prior to going and sure enough we were charged for 3 mains instead of 2!

It was very busy so a long delay in being served compared to previous visits. Chicken dish I ordered was also over cooked making the chicken dry.

First visit and certainly not the last. Nice ambiance to the restaurant and both food and service very good. No difficulty choosing what to eat with a menu giving choice but not too much. Pleasantly surprised so don't be shy give it a try.

The restaurant is downstairs and is nice atmosphere. Unfortunately that was the only positive we had. Food was bland/lacked seasoning their Mozzarella Margharita pizza was completely tasteless. But the worse part of the evening had to be the manic waiter who rushed at tables snatching up plates and being very gruff and snappy when addressing diners at the table. He made our part feel very uncomfortable.

Lovely place. Calamari to start could have done with longer in the dryer, the batter was still soggy. The rest of the food was amazing. Service seemed a little too efficient if there is such a thing, in the way of we felt rushed out. 3 courses in just over an hour. As soon as we put our final mouthfuls in the plates would be whipped away . Great experience, just a few little niggles. We will definitley be back though

I booked on line and the day before had a courtesy call from the Tavistock because I had a special request which was fulfilled. The service and food were both just what we needed and the ambiance comfortable and cosy. A happy night out with firends.
