    Horrific experience for a 93rd birthday. Waiting staff were great but manager was exceptionally rude when I telephoned later to complain. Earlier he had rudely instructed my party they had to leave their table after only 75 minutes because he wanted the table for his friends!!!"! (reservation email advised table was good for much longer.) His language was foul when I called to complain and he told me he couldnt give F--k and then hung up!!! We ate their regularly since opening but never again and I can only sympathise with the owners who probably have no idea that their business is being managed by such an unprofessional and and ignorant individual!!

    We ordered a medium rare fillet steak and a medium rare rib-eye. Both were well done, and both were tasteless. They were also very expensive. Our waitress was very nice, but we will never go there again, despite living 5 minutes walk away.

    Have been many times and have never been disappointed with the food. However, on this occasion, the service was poor and we’d to ask for the bill numerous times. They seemed to be short staffed.
