    The food was well presented excellent quality & reasonably priced, the service was very good & the meal was served up within 10 minutes of ordering, I haven’t experienced service like that for a while. The restaurant was clean & pleasant, the noise level was quite, the only negative was that it was quite cool prompting me to put a jacket on.

    I’ve given this venue a couple of chances, but unfortunately, the experience hasn’t improved. The service was quite slow considering the number of guests dining, and the bar consistently struggles to get orders right. Our table ordered drinks with our meals, and when some of us later went to the bar to get more, we were told they’d bring them to our table instead—only to receive the wrong drinks. The food itself wasn’t terrible, but it could definitely use more flavour. The most frustrating part of the visit was finding out at the bar that we couldn’t split the bill. There was no signage or notice on the menu to indicate this, at least none that we could see. Additionally, the surcharge on the final bill came as a surprise; it would have been better if this had been mentioned upfront. On a positive note, the staff were friendly and the venue itself has a nice atmosphere—it just needs some attention to service and communication details.

    Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We’re genuinely sorry to hear that your experience did not meet expectations, despite giving us more than one chance — we truly value your support. We would like to clarify that both the card surcharge and no split bills policies are noted on our menu, though we understand these can sometimes be missed, and we’ll take your feedback on board to review how we can make this clearer for our guests. We also sincerely apologise for the mistakes with your drinks. This is certainly not the standard we aim for, and your comments will be addressed so we can improve our service. We’re glad to hear you appreciated the friendly staff and the atmosphere, and we hope we’ll have the opportunity to welcome you back for a better experience in the future.

    The booking system was very easy. Our table was ready when we arrived and we were given the option to move to an outdoor table since it was such a pleasant day. We looked at the outdoor tables but the chairs and tables looked very dirty so we elected to stay with out inside table. Our waiter was very good. The meals arrived promptly and were very nice. The whole experience soured when we went to pay. The girl at the bar told us that they did not split bills. She said this should have been told to us when we arrived, but is wasn't. We then settled the bill and incurred a credit card surcharge which was not displayed. If we had been aware of the surcharge we would have paid cash. It was a very disappointing end to what had been a very nice birthday celebration for my friend. Despite the good food, excellent price and quiet atmosphere, we will not be returning.
