    We asked for a nice table ( when we booked the reservation ) and were squished onto a table for two that was out in an aisle at one end and squished against a wall on the other end. When asked if there were any better tables I was told “ I know you asked for a nice table. I think this is nice. It’s a table” didn’t care. My medium well steak was more medium and had a burnt taste on the outside and the chips and breaded prawn starter we far too greasy, which suggest that the deep fat fryer may not have been in the correct setting. The Prosecco was nice but that was about it. Was it the worst experience? No. Would I go back? No. It was more a case that the staff did not care if I was having a good experience or not. There were no check backs on the table. Very disappointing.

    Favourite restaurant, as a family we go there regularly. Always excellent food. Especially the Chocolate fondant dessert which cannot be beaten anywhere else in excellence and deliciousness!

    Not my first visit here (and won't be my last). Terrific customer service and superbly prepared food, well worth a visit.

    Steak was dry and over cooked, which, as a steak restaurant, is pretty fundamental. Service was fine and other food was okay.
