5 mins before our booked time, I recieved a phone call as we approached the place telling me they weren't serving food. As we were already there we asked if we would a complimentary drink for the inconvenience. A point blank NO was the answer. I think the customer service could do with a brush up.

Had tapas which we usually love. But smaller portions and almost double the price compared to pre-covid. Very disappointed with the thai green curry monkfish - very odd! Seemed to be just a white coconut sauce with a few sliced chillis - not green curry at all and very little fish! Having said that, we enjoyed the meal and the staff were great.

Quality food, the service is good but a little over friendly but that may just be me. Outdoors in the sun is also lovely there.

Can’t fault it.. came for our anniversary. You pay for quality and the food was definitely quality.. made to order and fresh. Extremely tasty. I loved my chicken Wellington. The cocktails were fab. The 2 who waited on us were Fantastic and very attentive. The only ‘fault’ was that when I booked it asked me if a special occasion which I stated it was our anniversary. I think it would have been nice if that would have been shown… eg.. happy anniversary written on a plate or table… it just felt pointless having to state what the occasion was for. (But an extremely small fault and probably the system than the restaurant)

We came here to celebrate our wedding anniversary after it being recommended to us by a friend. From the minute we walked in, it had a really special feel to it. The staff were very welcoming and friendly, the food was delicious and the place had a really romantic atmosphere. We will definitely be returning very soon. Thank you for making our anniversary celebration a special one.

Disappointing meal: some of the dishes were good, e.g. vegan curry, some would have been good but were too salty (hake) - and the £24 sirloin was borderline inedible, tough and grisly. Pinot grigio at £18 a bottle was poor. So overall poor value for money.

First time I've been since it reopened as a bistro and I was not disappointed! Everything was amazing, from the moment we arrived the host was very warm and welcoming, the waiter Hugo was so helpful, polite and friendly, the food was lush, the cocktails were great and there was a lovely atmosphere in the restaurant. I'm vegan and the vegan fish and chips was beautiful, the best I've tried by far! I would highly recommend and I'll definitely be back!
