Food was lovely, service was terrible. Got served our first dish before the wine. We asked for the wine and then got our second dish instead of the wine. Asked again for the wine, through 2 different servers before it came. There was a long wait between dishes also. Ruined the experience a little as it didn't feel 'in hand' and we constantly had to look about to cue that we were waiting for some service.

Do yourself a favour and go to Chubby Cheeks. We had the tasting plate for 3 and it was certainly a very generous 'tasting plate' So many fabulous dishes, full of flavour and terrific value. The service was friendly and efficient and while the restaurant was a little noisy, you soon didn't notice it and just enjoyed the whole experience. Absolutely 10/10.
