Meal was served quite quickly (precooked maybe?) but sadly there wasn’t much to choose from if you are a healthy eater like myself. Our waitress was very pleasant, I cannot complain about the service at all. Would ordinarily recommend the restaurant but not sure at this point... maybe when the kitchen/meal options are back to normal.

Small menu but all meals were lovely. Due to the Covid-19 seating plan it felt like we were the only people in there! We were a table of 8 people so between us we tried most of the menu and it was all beautifully cooked. It will be great when they can get back to normal but I feel they did an excellent job with the experience they could offer us.

Temple WE Came Last year so on compression of the Temple Bar - This time was NOT good I understand thing are done differently but this was not a good experience and to be frank found the food to be uneatable! to be fair we left hungry! and cancelled our booking for the next day and changed this to the Bar and Grill Zafari Bar & Grill This food was much better but NOT good value for money at £10 for 2 pints of Fosters the food was expensive for what you got almost a £100 for a meal for 2 Adults and 2 children not a lot of choice and no child drinks option which meant almost £15 on 4 Apple juices The food was much better but Way over priced I understand now why you see pizza deliveries in the lobby :>((

No issues with service, was fast and friendly. I do however have issues with the food. My son had the wanyama kids burger and the bun smelt sweaty, as if it had been left in a plastic bag and left for a long time. He also had apple juice which would of liked to remotely taste like apple juice. I ordered the buttermilk chicken, which was dry, over cooked and tasteless, the beer I ordered also tasted more like water and at £5 a pint, you'd expect flavour. Overall the food was sub par for the price (which is over priced beyond compare). My advice to anyone would be to eat off premises and save money.
