Food was good (although my steak a little fatty!) and drinks great especially the gin! But staff drove us crazy! Every 2 minutes(this is not an exaggeration) asking if we were ok, clearing our table when we were still chewing the last mouthful, just too many times we were interrupted when talking. Good value though and good atmosphere.

Great food and cocktails, had the Sharing platter starter and a couple of sides and was full up , so couldnt manage a main or desert, which was a shame as they had apple and blackberry crumble on, will have to go back and have a smaller starter!.

A very pleasant evening. The staff were friendly and helpful, the food all arrived at the same time (there were 6 of us). The live music was an added bonus.

Amazing food and drinks, but just very quiet at lunchtime and so lacked atmosphere. But can imagine in the evening it would be an amazing place for both food and drinks.

The doormen were really helpful and told us who to speak to, to find out where we had been seated. The atmosphere and appearance of the restaurant was excellent. Our waiter was really attentive and the food was amazing.

Had the sharer platter for main which was really delicious and generous portion for 2. The root chips that came with it were a really nice change to regular fries. Had the sirachi hallomui kebabs for starter which were a bit disappointing. They lacked any real charring or flavour which you would come to expect from a kebab of any sort. Our server was ok, they first guy taking our drinks order was the friendliest of anyone but he lacked any real knowledge of the drinks. Asked for a passion fruit cider and got strawberry and lime. No big deal really but he didn't seem to know when asked what flavours they actually had. Other than those minor things I would definitely return again just foe the sharing platter. The JD brisket was defiitely the stand out dish

Nice venue, shocking service. Completely missed the starters ordered, and we were asked if we would have the mains first and then starters after!! Main courses were then delivered and the orders were again all wrong!! Left early!

Sorry to say the steak was not good - the quality or cut was very poor and the food in general was just not something I would expect to pay for

Really enjoyed our meals, especially the pulled beef brisket. 50% off food on Mondays is a fantastic deal, too! Only downside was the drinks were quite pricey but the ambience was great and the staff attentive.
