Food was good, however very overpriced. To not have the option to order only 1 course was new to me and not something I would imagine I'll see too often in the future. Toilets need attention and could be fresher - considering the restaurant was only just open I was surprised at only 1 of three cubicles being in usable condition. Overall I'd say premium prices for an average experience. The feeling is the restaurant is catering to passing trade and not returning custom.

First visit for us after moving from Glasgow and so impressed by the friendly staff, really fantastic meal and lovely views of the river. I’m so pleased we’ve found this restaurant we will be regulars from now on and bring family and fry with us.

Good food and the waiter was nice but we got the starter minutes after being server our cocktails. Then the main course came in immediately after they cleared the starter plates. After being asked if we wanted any dessert we said we wanted to finish the wine before order the coffee and we got the bill on the table instead without asking for it. It’s not a cheap restaurant so we really wanted to sit down and enjoy the food without the stress

The website says the menu shown is a sample menu. When you get there, it turns out that it is the only menu, and there's not much on it. The one starter I wanted was unavailable. We didn't stay to eat.

Staff were very friendly and attentive, they were great and offered us recommendations for cocktails when we couldn't decide - their recommendations were spot on and the cocktails we had were lovely. We did find the portion sizes were a bit too small - for example, when the venison came, it was just two small bits of venison and 3 wee potatoes so we did leave a bit hungry still. However, that said, all the food we had was delicious.

Seated us on bottom floor near busy kitchen door and restroom. Beet and goat cheese starter was excellent. COD was so salty that it was not edible.

Das Essen war sehr gut. Ein bisschen "frech", nur 2- bzw 3-Gang-Menüs anzubieten; keine Einzelgerichte. Daher eher erforderlich teuer, als entspannend lecker. Das Interieur könnte trotz schönem industriellem Ambiente um einiges gepflegter sein. Etwas in die Jahre gekommen, wenn man nur die Staubschichten auf dem Sicht-Bauteilen und die teilweise abgesessenen Sitzmöbel betrachtet. Nichts für gehbehinderte Menschen! Restaurant über 3 Etagen und Treppen.

Limited menu, availability poor, nothing catered for people with food intolerance, food substandard. Venison tough like leather, 35 minutes before food arrived. Vastly overpriced. I’m local and have always supported this restaurant. Will not be back!

A delicious meal but I do feel that £40 for 2 courses is too expensive. It would work out that my main cost between £25 and £30 and my starter between £10 and £15.

Slightly disappointed with our meal if I am to be honest. A lovely window table overlooking the river. Our server presented us with a menu and a set preamble before we had really even settled into our seats. In describing the soup of the day he said he really wouldn’t have ordered it himself which I felt quite inappropriate. It felt sort of rushed even though the restaurant was quite empty. Menu presented had a limited choice, two or three courses £40 & £45 unlike the menu of the webpage which had much better and more choices. While my wife’s first course of Pork Belly was wonderful, my chicken and pork Terrine with a few crackers and some onion jam was quite underwhelming. Unfortunately my main course of two small pieces of Venison were slightly over cooked and as such quite tough but the red wine jus was very tasty. Not sure what happened to the Jerusalem artichokes that the menu said it came with but they were missing from the plate. Just a side of potatoes and a few spots of a foam. My wife’s Halibut was also overdone and quite dry. At £40 for the two courses I would have expected a better meal. Had anyone inquired how our meal was we could have at least told them but no one came to our table.
