By mistake I booked the bottomless brunch which included a DJ which made it noisy. Once the manager realised my mistake he and his team went above and beyond to make our visit an enjoyable experience. We had the main menu and seated in a quieter area. My friends and I would definitely return.

Overall a bit disappointing. No disco as advertised. Food was nice but cocktails menu very misleading looked like £11 but was actually £14 as printed really faintly needed a torch to see it.

Had a really lovely lunch. The new menu has a much improved selection of both hot and cold starters along with the mains. The service was excellent. The staff went the extra mile and went shopping to get me some gluten free lager. The lunch menu price has also been reduced. Fantastic food,atmosphere service and great value for money. Geoffrey has really raised the level of what was already a great dining experience. Highly recommended.

Unfortunately there was no entertainment as advertised, The starter was not cooked and had to be returned, half the restaurant was empty. Much better restaurants (& cheaper) with greater atmoshpere around the area to go to.

Lovely interior & staff friendly. However not much choice on food, it differs from website. Expensive, £19 for a veggie mousakka & £9 for glass Prosecco. My mousakka was cold so had to send it back, unlikely I will return.

Visited one Saturday afternoon, food was lovely, flavoursome and hot - staff friendly and attentive - decor amazing - sadly no atmosphere as only one other table taken - maybe do the lunchtime special menu on a Saturday as well as midweek to fill the restaurant - had the house red wine which was very nice but unfortunately stored somewhere with no heating as was chilled rather then room temperature - overall we had a fabulous experience and a lovely touch of a complimentary shot with our bill - have already booked 2 more visits

The waiter, (Spanish?),, was very attentive & gave great service. Ribeye steak was very very good. Tables were a little small (although appreciate standard size) and a bit close together. Good menu selection. Disappointed with the tiramisu. Would definitely recommend on the whole & look forward to returning.

This was our 7th visit to the Med. The food is always delicious, plentiful and great value. The service which was provided by Olivia was excellent. Unrushed service bringing our food when we wanted it and always making sure that our glasses were full. Looking forward to our next visit.

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.
