I left a balloon at the restaurant 1 hour before we turned up. The balloon cost me £27, when we arrived it had deflated. It had been popped. Absolutely fuming!

Service levels were not up to standard. Plates should never be cleared whilst some at table are still eating. The coffee machine should not be shut down whilst diners are still likely to order post-meal coffees; that's staff 'cleaning down' early rather than thinking about possible customer needs and additional sales. It's basic stuff that should be addressed by management

Took a while for the main course to come out. Table was booked for 8.30 and the main course came out at 10pm. The noise was just a bit to much. It's great having music but if it's loud then everyone has to shout when they are talking. As we were sitting in the middle of the restaurant we were just surrounded by people shouting. BUT, the food is AMAZING!!

Spent 3hrs enjoying Sunday lunchtime with great food, ambience,service + lovely \ appropriate singer. Not rushed and made to feel special. Varied aged clientele and approachable staff across the board. We're not easily impressed {experience over postcode 😂} but The Med deserves to succeed.
