This was our second visit to this restaurant and I have to say we were both disappointed. I went with one of the special steaks and it was flavourful but a lot of chewy grisly bits in it. The beef Brisket with the nachos was lacking in flavour and my husband said his meal was OK but nothing special. The service was OK but when the bill comes in at £80 for 2people I expected the meal to be better. As I said came here a couple of years ago and was blown away. We have been out of the country and was really looking forward to trying here again it just didn't match up to the previous standards set.

Staff friendly for the most part. Though the guy who greeted us and showed us to our table was not very welcoming. I had ribs which I thought were slightly undercooked and hard to tell what was fat and what was meat. Overall a basic service, mediocre meal and basic environment. Probably too basic for me overall. I don’t think I’ll be returning.

The chefs continue to delight our family with new and interesting dishes; the duck and squid starter (a special) is to die for. Absolutely fabulous food. Best restaurant I’ve known in years.

I had the chicken and ribs combo, was a large portion. Chicken wings were really good, ribs were a little tough. But overall the whole trip was nice.

Staff were great, attentive at the right level and helpful with menu choices. It was busy so we had to wait a while but ambience was also great so it was not a problem. Food was generally really good for everyone. The only thing I will say is that I asked for marmite cheesy chips but with only a little marmite and they were smothered, flavour was overpowering so I couldn’t eat them. Also, the pulled jackfruit would be better served in a bun with coleslaw, it was way too spicy without being nestled with coleslaw. Overall though, we had a great dining experience and will be back. Good that they cater for vegans, veggies and gluten intolerance now so much more inclusive.

Food was nice and warm and very tasty. The waiter foolishly encouraged my father to have several long island iced tea and he passed out when returning home.

We were greeted at the door and shown straight to a table. However it was a bit disappointing to be sat near the toilets .. perhaps this cpuld be sectioned off abit further away. Luckily though,there were no bad smells as there was a small corridor before the male and female toilet doors. The waiting staff were friendly and gave us time to order when we hadn't decided. They responded well to all queries and served our food with good manners and smiles. A slight improvement would be for all of our food to come at the same time. The food was well presented and tasted good so we were really satisfied.

Wasn’t as nice as my previous visit, the steak was burnt around the edges and gave to much of a smoked taste.

Great food & service. We were unlucky in that it was very busy with big parties and because of the style of the building it was very noisy. Would be great if they could create more intimate areas for smaller groups.
