Food was lovely Glad we reserved a table as a lot of people were turned away I do think the ladies toilets require a refit and a very good clean though
Excellent food but limited choices, I would like more choice
Very slow service despite it not being over busy. Tomato soup very spicy, not told in advance. Fish cakes dry. Just a disappointing experience
We got delayed slightly however the chef managed to feed us in time to get to the theatre - lovely atmosphere and delicious well cooked food
Food, cocktails and service fantastic. Will definitely return and recommend
We had specifically requested a wheelchair space for one guest. What we had not anticipated that we could not even get into the restaurant, because there is no wheelchair access. We were confronted by two steep steps and a narrow doorway. I have looked at your website again and there is no warning about lack of wheelchair access. It is a legal requirement for public buildings to have access for people with disabilities but if this is impossible you should make it known to your potential customers. Luckily there were other places close by, because we were not in a position to go very far from where we were. Most disappointing. The lady who opened the door for us was very apologetic and understanding, which helped.
Nice atmosphere perfect location for pre theatre food and food was home cooked and very Tasty!!
Lovely polite waitress- food was very tasty and reasonably priced. Very relaxing atmosphere - and close to the theatre which is where we went after.
Booked on line turned up said they were full didn’t bother the acknowledge the on line booking. The place was majority empty booked for 645pm. Shame big mistake as was treating my friend to a 50th birthday meal so we went to queens Cantonese instead and had 109% service so I highly recommend you go to queens Cantonese as you get far better service
Very good, clean, good service, nice food affordable prices. What's not to like?
Excellent service, food was beautiful and cocktails were amazing! Would highly recommend.
Lovely fresh tasting food. Good service and reasonable price. First visit and will return again.
Good quick service. Nice food. Friendly staff. Will keep going back again and again. My mistake was I don’t like kidney beans and the meal came with them (albeit only a few thankfully).
We love it here, tasty food, cosy atmosphere and right next to the station. :)
Came back again before a comedy night at the Slade Rooms. Had service, great food last time and it didn’t disappoint again
Lovely place to eat and drink, menu was short but enough choice, we opted for fish dishes which were very tasty. Cheesecake was a dream, good enough you wanted to lick the plate!! Staff excellent, would recommend.
A wonderful place to eat with great service and an artsy atmosphere.
Not a huge menu selection, nonetheless nice/ good food, friendly service, what’s not to like...
Well presented and tasty fresh food definitely be returning excellent.
A few times I have been now and each one gets better 😁
Great service, ambiant music that was at a good level so you could still have a conversation. Beautiful food, presented well and served. Didn’t wait very long for our food to arrive.
All meals were really fresh and tasty. Great service, overall an excellent experience.
Everything about our visit was excellent- staff were all friendly, professional and lovely to see them smiling. Ambience was good as was the service. Plenty of choice on the menu and the food lovely- what more can one ask. An extra bonus was a charming young man who knows how to make a perfect G and T!!!
Lovely setting. Helpful and friendly staff. The food was really, really good too. Well presented and tasted amazing! Thank you for a lovely night.
Food was amazing! The Hungry Bistro is a lovely place
Very helpful and friendly staff. Main course portions were okay but more than made up for with the amazing “dark & stormy” cheesecake, we wanted to lick our plates it was that good. Only negative comment would be the toilets where only one was working and watched one lady struggle in and out of the only working cubicle which was partly obscured by a wall. That aside would definitely recommend on food and service.
Very accommodating and food was exceptionally cooked. Staff were friendly and attentive. Will be visiting again.
WE had to wait for our fellow diner and they were very understanding and attentive.
Quick lunch time service, was a nice light room. Big portions - maybe a bit too over-facing for a lunch time sandwich. But so tasty and with a nice salad.
Portion sizes very small, much smaller than previous visits. Mackerel pate almost ran off the plate. Spanish hotpot extremely disappointing, runny sauce like water. No accompanying vegetables offered. When we got the bill we had, once again, been overcharged as we were on a previous visit. Fixed price menu so should be easy enough to calculate!! Won’t be returning unfortunately 😞
Very local to the Grand theatre so ideal position for pre show meal.
Food was very good but unfortunately the slow service let down the overall dining experience.
Unfortunately the restaurant menu was completely different to the one online which meant we ended up leaving as there was no choice for my friend with allergies. We’d recommend ensuring the menus match up in the future.
Work reunion. Good food and service but a small place with very few tables so no real vibe to the evening. We had a great catch up though
The food was simply fantastic! Will visit again and recommend to friends and family.
Great atmosphere, lovely friendly staff and fantastic food. Perfect place to go for food before a visit to the Grand Theatre or Light House cinema
Had a lovely evening here with excellent food, fantastic staff and a cosy environment. We’ll definitely be back ❤️
Loved it. Delicious food every time! Proper fresh ingredients beautifully prepared. Just wish I could go there more often!
Incredible food, wonderful service. Will definitely return! Can’t recommend enough!
Found the food and atmosphere friendly, there was 6 other tables with other guests, there was very little waiting time and we where not rushed we defiantly go again.. Good Value for mid week eats
Great little place with lots of character. Food was great and didnt have to wait long for it.
relaxed atmosphere , allow 1hour for two courses very friendly staff.
Food was fantastic service very good will go back soon
Fab service and food. Perfect location for theatre, we will return!
Loved it! A true hidden gem in Wolverhampton, perfect for the theatre and great food.
Great food and great location for the Grand theatre. We had a very young breastfeeding baby with us and felt very comfortable thank you 😊
Great location for pre theatre lunch. Good choice of food & pleasant service
Simply amazing brilliant food brilliant staff a big thank you
The staff were friendly and efficient. The food was great with a good choice of gf options. This was our second visit and there will definitely be a third. Viv 😀
My friend was 10 minutes late and we had to rush to a football game but the service was amazing and when we needed the bill in a rush they were very attentive. Food and wine was great and with the set menu the value was great.
