Me and my partner went for a date night. We sat in our coats because it was so cold, asked if we could move and a friendly member of staff moved us, then we were moved back by who I think was the manager to exactly the same cold seating and not offered anywhere else. There wasb1 other group in there too. Not great. Tapas was nice, but went cold quick because the place was so cold. Small choice of wines. We wouldn't return.

Awful, do not go here for food. It's more like a chavy club. Booked for my boyfriends birthday and we got up and left because the noise was ridiculous and they were not even expecting us after booking through here. Very dissapointed.

Good food, amazing service the place is gorge. Only reason I’ve given that mark for the food is the calamari was terrible - very tough. However everything else was amazing

We were given a groupon voucher as a present and having visited before for drinks outside we were really looking forward to it. The toilets at 7:30 were disgusting which didn’t give us a good impression from the start. The food was not very good and badly presented and to be honest we couldn’t wait to get out of there. Staff were friendly but the rest needs work.

I would have rated 5 star because the place is lovely and the food was good, and good value for money. But unfortunately the restaurant was freezing, (I swear it was warmer outside than it was inside, if it hadn’t been raining we would have sat outside) and as the marble tables were freezing consequently the food also went cold really quickly too. The fact that it was cold meant we left pretty much as soon as we’d eaten. It’s a terrible shame, because it has all the ingredients to be a really nice venue, and we would have been happy to stay longer if we’d been comfortable and warm.
