Food very good but a very long wait between finishing our starters and main course being served. Yes, they were busy but it appeared that we were not being served in turn.

    Nice clean restaurant, friendly staff, but with a big down side. We arrived and were immediately seated as they were very quiet ( lots drinking not eating). Our order was taken and we waited 29 minutes for our meals, why so accurate you may ask, the is this the third visit and both previous times we had long waits so I thought I would time the service, you decide if you feel that's to long. When the meals arrived they were ok, scallops black on the base and no flavour. One plus point the entertainment was interesting watching the bar staff throwing the limes and lemons behind the bar and the cleaning of the bar ceiling with a spray that cascaded onto the glasses and other cut up fruits. Overall it could be a great place, but the staff are giving the wrong image when not managed.

    We were welcomed and the service was good. However, I was disappointed that there was not a wider choice of salads as it was a very hot day and the tomato salad was off the menu even though we were there for early lunch. Also the creme brulee was not available.

    Had a lovely dinner. Staff were friendly and helpful, they turned off the radiator next to us when we asked.

    Very busy and we asked if we could be moved to a quieter table which the staff were happy to do. Great service, good food, and I love that they do lighter options - mini puddings with a hot drink - just right after the main course. Friendly, helpful waitress.

    Good food , but be careful where you sit .
    One area is very noisy , particularly if at the same time with young family diners !

    Excellent experience. Great service really good food even though it was very busy as it was Mother's Day.

    Very Good Service

  • (((** 18 March 2017 by Lunch with friends from Bedford

    It was very busy so made service slow. One of the meals was not very hot.
    The staff were friendly
    but had to go to bar to ask to pay. As seemed preoccupied with bar jobs and other staff seemed to have disappeared.
