Very good food in a small but pleasant room. Good grill menu. They had a large party in when we were there, which impacted the service a little, but otherwise an excellent evening.

Starter was nice, but the main took 40 Minutes after the starter to arrive. I had a chicken risotto which was too stodgy and bland. 3 strips of chicken on top of rice pudding was how I would describe it. I didn’t pay for any of the meal due to the main arriving 40 minutes late the side salad was from a bag of salad and did not look good at all. Will not be returning

Only problem we found was that we wanted to arrive a bit later than our booked time but their phone was engaged for over an hour so couldn't get through.

The fillet steak was excellent. However the management now charge extra for chips (£2.99). Chips used to be included with the steaks. Given you're already paying £24.99 for a fillet steak I think this extra charge is unnecessary and OTT!

Fantastic food, very friendly staff, however on the evening myself and three others dined the kitchen was under a lot of pressure so the wait for our table, and between courses, was too long. We received a complimentary drink for our troubles and a reduction in the bill which was fair as due to the wait we drank more wine than usual. It was festival week in Cheltenham and I think the restaurant was over booked. Overall experience was good with excellent food. Would certainly dine here again but would hope for a slicker service.

We always find that the steak does not disappoint us. We do find the tables are a bit too close and hence can be a bit noisy but we are getting on a bit and the food makes up for it.

Had a family lunch on Saturday afternoon, 5 of us with one 9 month old. We were warmly welcomed and the service was informal yet professional. We all ordered different mains and everyone’s meal was perfect, great steaks and sauces which really complimented the meat without overpowering the star of the show. Desserts were great and a lovely touch of a complimentary pot of tea for my wife. All in all a great experience and we will definitely be back.

We were seated at the back near the toilets in what seemed like a converted garage. We’d booked due to the excellent reviews on the food, esp steak. Ordered the Ribeye medium as recommended but came out well done. Chips and sides all average. Couldn’t eat the cheesecake as it was so powdery and dry. Overall very disappointed

Very poor kerb appeal. - rather like entering a car park. Nobody was available to greet our arrival inside. There was a smell of cooking fat from the kitchen. The ambience was too dark. The food was pricey for the quality. Service was adequate but not great.

Lovely setting. Friendly staff however took over 45minutes before our bottle of Prosecco arrived and then we still had to chase the water for the table. We decided to have steaks following the recommendation on the website. Asked for them to be cooked as per the menu suggested; medium and when it arrived, was more like Well done. We all felt that the food was not piping hot and had been left on the side too long before being presented to us

The food was lovely. Came for my boyfriends birthday on valentine’s Day. Service was a little slow but guessing they had a busy evening. I had the ‘Greek Salmon’ but there was nothing Greek about it apart from the tzatziki. Was hoping for some olives or feta but was just a plain salad. Over all was tasty but not sure it was worth the £65 spent. Steak was medium rare but was cooked a little too much. Beautiful ambiance inside and beautifully decorated tables with candles and rose petals. Even gave me a rose to take home! Delicious cheesecake, extremely dense and tasty! Overall lovey however was a bit disappointed with the Greek salmon.

There were 5 of us in the party. The experience was very pleasant and the food freshly cooked. Three of us had fish. The fish was nicely cooked but we really did need more vegetable. The bass was served with mediterranean vegetables which were tasty but only a very small amount. I do not have an enormous appetite but on a cold day I actually felt hungry when I had finished the main course! - the person who had sword fish had no vegetables but a thick sauce - nice enough but again the dish needed vegetables.
