Swift lead to table and drinks order, but no Bloody Mary's ,, REALLY.. 🙄. 35 mins between order and served. 3 orders cold. Asked a staff member for a pen, to send a message to SOPHIES, it took 10 mins for her to return.. the restaurant was not too busy, (12pm Sunday). I had 8 diners at the table and honestly, not one of us will return.

Food options were limited and food lukewarm when arrived. Service was poor, had to remind staff we needed cutlery twice and they forgot the dessert order.

Had to leave with no food served after 1:15 waiting. They didn’t charge but very poor overall. Won’t be back and advise to avoid.

Restaurant was nice but everything else was sub par . Food was quite bland and serving size wasn’t great. I had the featherblade of beef which was a nice size of meat but there was barely any vegetables and potatoes as well as them being bland. Service was okay , nothing special.

Service was great and the setting is lovely. The food was interesting... My meal was €27. Confused why 1/4 of my singular mushroom was just chopped off. Meat was dry and the potato was strangely presented and bland. Why's it just a block on my plate???! Bland all over really. Portion was small and a bit stingy which I wouldn't mind if what food we got actually tasted great on its own but it didn't. Would not recommend at all. Overpriced. Cocktail choice not great either - missing the staples.
