We returned having had a wonderful meal there the last time. The 28 day matured rib eye I had was pale and tasteless . In fact I honestly thought there had been a mistake and I was served pork. I mentioned it to the waiter who more or less brushed me off. The starters were very good as was the lemon sole my wife had. I felt very disappointed.

We were a party of 3, two meals were very good, unfortunately the third was not so great. The pork was incredibly tough and difficult to eat.

The staff were amazing considering they were clearly very busy and a bit rushed off their feet, but their service was outstanding regardless. 10/10

Our second visit to this busy restaurant We shared the platter to begin with The pate was lovely but the chicken tenders were dry as were the roll mops We had the cod from the specials which was ok but the rice was tasteless The other main was the stuffed chicken breast which was flavoursome but dry However the accompanying veg were nicely cooked I’d suggest heating the plates as the food went cold fast Our cocktails were delicious and the service was charming

Salad and mussels starters were delicious. The duck main was wonderful. The beef rib fillet with green peppercorn sauce was very nice but everything on the plate was a little too salty. The staff were attentive and at times entertaining. The eclectic decor was delightful. We had a very enjoyable evening.

Food was great. I’m not sure if staffing was low? We didn’t get our drinks until after our food was served. We had to ask for water several times before getting it (we ordered water and a cocktail each). We were understanding that there were staffing problems probably, but still not the best service to get your drink after you’ve finished dinner.

Really lovely staff team. Warm greeting and explained why we had a little wait for our table - table of 30 just departed so a quick reorganisation of tables. Delicious food delivered quick quickly and most attentive service. Lovely the interior design and a really good atmosphere with people from all over the world enjoying themselves. Thank you to all who made this a really good night. X

Reservation had been canceled. I emailed and it was put back on. Glitch? Servers work as a team. Everyone helps so you don’ t have a relationship with just one server but very efficient.

The wine was old and we had to replace it with another, the wrong dishes were presented (we swapped them) and there was a tour group next to us that was too loud. Food was good and the server who subbed for the waiter was good so we rated it okay.

We were not impressed with the food. Had 4 different orders and one dessert. The steak was over cooked, 2 dishes were tasteless and one was ok. The dessert was a chocolate, salted caramel tart. It tasted like it had freezer burn. On a positive note the waitstaff and host were pleasant and attentive.

We felt a bit ignored. Had to ask for our drinks three times and they arrived after we had finished our starter. A bit disappointed since we were looking forward to this restaurant. But we cant give more than 3/5 for service and food
