So overpriced. Trying to play with the big boys but nowhere near as good. £24 for a mixed shish (6 average sized cubes of meat, 3 chicken 3 lamb) and only comes with salad, have to order rice for £4 and that was terrible also. Bulgar was sticky and white rice swimming in oil. Truffle chips just tasted like old oil. No truffle.flavour whatsoever. Chips were also brown as fresh oil not being used. Wagyu beef sliders starters for £12 were shocking. Cold cheese, average steak and 100% not wagyu. Will never return. Was also told the chef is leaving.

After I visited with my friends, I booked for Sunday lunch with my husband. We were very pleased with our roast dinners. Very large portions and was piping hot. We also enjoyed a young lady vocalist. Good job.

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!!
