Loved the interior of the restaurant. I had scampi and chips. Pretty mediocre. Could have gone to a local chip shop for the same meal at half the price. Rest of the party had monkfish but weren't too impressed. I hate olives but shared olives with my friend, they were fabbie. My husband had calamari but it was far too chewy. Maybe we wrong dishes.

Food and service was first class; we both had the special scallops with caviar in a Thermidor sauce which were amazing, I had the special of the day which was the monkfish with crab gratin and it was a big bit of fish and off the scale on taste. We will be back for dinner soon

First time visiting and we will definitely return and have been recommending. Food portions were excellent and the chips are decent proper chippy chips! Our only negative was having a 10% service charge automatically added. We removed this with no issues but this stopped us from leaving a tip.

Very pleasantly surprised by what was an impromptu dinner reservation. The servers couldn’t be more attentive or helpful. The portions were very generous, and the food itself was delicious. We couldn’t fault a thing! The crab nachos were outstanding, 10/10! The child’s sausage supper was devoured by our fussy eater. Next time we’ll leave space for pudding! Thank you.

It was my visit - but won’t be the last! It was so lovely - staff were attentive without being overbearing! Food was superb - my dad said it was one of the best fish & chips he’d had, specially commenting on the wonderful, light, crispy batter - a really lovely restaurant with really lovely staff
