Friendly place, attentive staff, was busy for a Tuesday evening. Had a 40% off the tapas menu and a steak deal too. Food was good and would recommend this place to others

Booked a table for 9pm last night. After asking for it at 850, we then waited until 915 before having to ask again. At this point we were told they would sort it out, but this still took 10 more mins. We then ordered only to be told ten minutes later that two of our dishes were sold out. Offered alternatives (as opposed to a menu), the waiter claimed that cod cakes were 'pretty much the same' as chorizo croquettes. After waiting nearly 40 mins we got most of our food (we had to ask again for one dish) which was pretty bland overall and tasted like ingredients put together in a bowl as opposed to a plate of restaurant quality food. The drinks were not bad although advertising all cocktails as 2 for 10 underneath the section with the French martini only to then say the French martini is excluded is just infuriating..... Had heard good things about this place but won't be going back!

Food and drinks where great, service was a little slow and we had to ask for a couple of things twice. It wasn't that busy and having been there a couple of times and had great service when it was really crowded, it was a bit surprising.

Honestly, not a good experience from beginning to end. There was no one to greet us, service was bad. Presentation of staff very scruffy and food bad. Microwaved food and overall poor quality. Table and floors dirty and decor very tired and of bad taste. Avoid!!

The courtyard restaurant is a lovely place to go, if it's for 2 people or a large group, food and service superb,and good choice of food. Had never booked a table before through Quandoo and was so easy even for a novice like me. Thank you

Been here many times and loved it , but last night was a total disaster. It took 15 minutes to get served for a beer because the 3 bar staff were making cocktails, and there was only me waiting. The table was booked for 19:45, we were seated at 20:00. We ordered 7 dishes off the tapas menu. The hot bread was served 5 minutes later. We then never received another dish for 50 minutes by which time the bread was cold. When the food arrived the potato dish was only half a usual serving , it had been cut in half and split into 2 dishes. The chilli chicken dish was made with tiny pieces of chicken and again was only half full. The mushroom in sauce was like mushroom in water. We complained and showed the waitress who told the manager. The waitress informed us the manager said we can have 40% off , we hadn't eaten anything so refused . The manager then came over and looked at our food and agreed that we shouldn't pay . She was excellent in her manner and the way she dealt with us . I hope they have a look at staffing levels around the bar area when cocktails are on and also go back to the proper size dishes they use to serve. The tapas dishes are small enough without the kitchen staff reducing them smaller . I will give the place another go because we have had many a nice meal, but if it fails again it will probably be the last time. C Taylor . Prenton

Asked for a children's menu, they said they don't do one on Sundays just a small version of adults roast dinner. Chef then came out and said he could do sausages and mash. Ordered one sausages, mash, peas and gravy and one chicken, mash, peas and gravy. Food came out, not what we ordered at all but chicken nuggets, chips and mushy peas and sausages, chips and mushy peas! So basically a children's meal!! Food was actually nice but there was far too much of it and loads was wasted. Service wasnt up to standard in my opinion.

From the moment we walked into The Courtyard we were warmly greeted and shown to our table straight away. The service the whole night was faultless, very polite and very attentive. We chose the tapas menu and we're so glad we did. Every dish we had was amazing, big portions and beautifully cooked. To top the night off too, on the night we went there was 40% off as well!! We will definitely be back!!

Food and service both great. Was able to stay at the table and have waitress service for drinks too which was a nice touch. Some places would unseat you and expect you to go to the bar when you'd finished eating.

We waited at the table for 20mins for drinks and then after 40mons we were told they were too busy to take our food order! The table they put us on was also outside the men's toilets so we had lovely sights and smells to Cope with too. We ended up paying for our drinks and walking out ...

Service was good, food was lovely, good offer with 40% off tapas so fairly cheap dinner out. It was under £30 for two beers, 6 tapas dishes and garlic bread starter. The only criticism was the tapas dish named, Migas. The black pudding and chorizo were overdone and dried out. Didn't seem fresh, just a freshly cooked egg on the top. Would return again though.

Food was great, however some of the service wasn't the best. It may have been as several of the servers seemed to be new, which is fine as we all have to learn. Didn't spoil the evening though, and I would definitely go back. As an aside though, we were sat at the back of the restauarant and the music was really loud, particularly for a restaurant. Sometimes struggled to hear each other on a table of four!!
