Service was slow. We had to go to the bar to ask for tea and coffee. Plates were left on the plate and then we had to go to tell them we need to pay. Had goats salad on beetroot. Salad was quite oily.

Waiting time to order drinks and food at quiet time was surprising - food was very very good though. When leaving tables were filling up but not enough menus to cover tables!?!?!

The first two courses were very good but there was too much cream and not enough meringue in the Eton Mess. The staff were very attentive and the atmosphere was good. The little hearts on the table and the dipped strawberries were a nice touch.

Although my 5 friends had an enjoyable lunch I ordered soup of the day which I was advised was French Onion, I was surprised to be asked if I wanted white or brown bread. The soup was not what I expected not the traditional soup with cheese melted over bread on the top. Sadly the soup tasted more like gravy.

A great place to meet friends. Staff very friendly & leave you to chat once you've finished your meal without making you feel as though you need to order more. Food a bit on the expensive side but plenty of it.3rd time I've been.

Nice looking from the outside. Really nice interior. High quality food served by eager waiter's. I think there must have been 4 people cooking and at least 4/5 serving. Amazing service

Another great breakfast at Grade. The team were attentive but we never felt rushed. Quality of products to a high standard, fresh, beautifully cooked and piping hot. Portions and presentation great with a wide choice of breakfast products to choose from. Lovely team creating a relaxed, warming atmosphere, highly recommended.

The food was tasty but pricey, e.g. Greek Salad tapas was tiny. The service was good but slow, and we were delayed for an event despite telling the staff. The bill took too long to appear. Good but could have been much better. A party with 4 noisy children running round did not help the atmosphere

A very good tapas restaurant with good food, good service, good portions and a good choice. Beer wasn't to my taste ( IPA over chilled and little flavour) but my dining partner said the wine was veryour good. I would definitely recommend a visit.

We had been to the Grade Café previously and had a wonderful brunch/breakfast, so when our family came to visit we took them for a late breakfast. Unfortunately, this time the service and standard of food was less than expected, we were given a discounted bill at the end.

Great food. I think everyone had arrived almost at the same time so food a little slow coming to the table and no promptly asked if we wanted a drink. Didn't get the table we had requested either as the other party had booked via the phone. So lesson learnt there! :(

The food was very good. Kids meals in particular were very tasty and great value. Unfortunately there was a really long wait for the food, and it didn't even seem that busy. There was no apology for the length of time we had to wait. If I'm being honest, I think the service could have been a bit friendlier. The people who served us showed minimum politeness but there was no enthusiasm there.

This is one of my favourite eateries. The staff are friendly, attentive but equally not in your face. I had the chicken Caesar salad today, not a stingy plate of food as with some establishments, and totally delicious. Well done Grade keep up the good work

Lovely meal and great service . I took my wife here for our monthly date night after a recommendation from my brother in law . We had a tapas style evening meal which was really good . A good selection of dishes were on offer and each one that we had was well presented, hot and very tasty . Very busy but service was very good. Server gave good advice on dishes and how many to order . Fantastic gin menu also !!! Would definitely return in the future !
