   The venue was very nice and modern. Due to the time of year it was quite busy and noisy with Xmas parties. When I booked I didn't realise initially that they were only serving the fixed Xmas party menu and I thought that menu was a little disappointing compared to the usual menu. The choices were a little limited, but the food was good. Service was generally good. There was a young man waiting on tables who was very good. Polite, friendly and helpful, unfortunately I didn't get his name, but he was great. One thing that was not good, was another waiter offered to take our plates away whilst we were still eating! I will probably come again, but after Xmas when the normal menu is being served.

   Horrendous Experience: Rude Staff, Poor Service, and FRAUDULENT Credit Card Use Our visit to this establishment was nothing short of a disaster. We had booked a table for a birthday celebration and specifically requested to have the table for the entire evening. Despite confirming this over the phone, we received a call on the day informing us the booking was limited to just two hours. The service was painfully slow, and when the two-hour mark arrived, we were still eating our main course. Shockingly, mid-meal, we were instructed to vacate our table. Attempts to resolve the situation with a manager were met with hostility. Dana, the owner's daughter, displayed an astonishing lack of professionalism and empathy. She not only refused to allow us to order desserts but demanded we leave immediately. To make matters worse, after subjecting us to this appalling treatment, they presented us with a bill for the meal. We refused to pay on principle and requested a follow-up from the owner to address our concerns. Instead of contacting us, the restaurant fraudulently charged the card they had on file for the booking without our authorisation. This experience was not only unprofessional but outright unethical. The restaurant’s behavior—poor service, rude and dismissive staff, and unauthorized use of our credit card—raises serious concerns. We urge others to think twice before considering this venue

   Dear Laura, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. While we understand your disappointment, we would like to provide some clarity regarding the events of your visit. Your reservation included a 2 hour time limit, as stated upon booking & in the email confirmation. A courtesy call was also made to ensure you were aware as a gentle reminder. Unfortunately, your guests refused to adhere to the policies & as requested, Dana (the owner) reiterated the booking terms. However, it is important to note that leaving without settling the bill is against our policies, as outlined in our booking terms. In such cases, we are authorised to recover the outstanding amount. We strive to treat all guests with professionalism & respect & we regret that your experience did not meet expectations.

   The staff were very pleasant, unfortunately we waited 1 hour for our main courses to arrive, the wine is very expensive and we had to ask the manager to turn the volumn down for the music and singer (who was very good) as we were having to shout at each other to hear our conversation across the table.

   Restaurant was so dark in the corner we were placed we could barely see each other. At the time we sat down we asked if we could move to the brightly lit part of the restaurant which was empty, but the waiter insisted that in half an hour a table of 7 would turn up and he therefore couldn’t move us. This was lubricious given that there were about 30 other covers in that area all empty! Surely pull two empty tables together - it’s not rocket science. We left and went to an Italian restaurant down the road. Great food, great atmosphere and most importantly friendly and attentive service staff, with live music to boot. Will never book spaghetti free again.

   Thank you for sharing your feedback. We are sorry to hear that your experience didn’t meet your expectations & appreciate the opportunity to provide some context. On the evening of your visit, you arrived later than your scheduled time, which left us with limited flexibility to adjust seating arrangements especially as we were fully booked. The table you requested was reserved for another booking due to arrive shortly & we wanted to ensure you had ample time to enjoy your meal. Unfortunately, this meant we were unable to accommodate your request to move. We understand that this impacted your experience & regret that we were unable to meet your needs on this occasion. We always strive to provide our guests with a comfortable and enjoyable dining experience.

   This restaurant caters for a young generation. The acoustics make the chat of dinners very loud. Loud at times music is added. It does make talking rather tricky. There is a security guy at the door. For older people this is probably not the right destination. We were there on a Saturday evening. Very lively. We thought the food was good. On a quieter night I would go again.

   Four diners. Two first choices on menu not available. Lasagne taken off menu by chef…in an Italian restaurant, really? Calves liver not available. Disappointing.

    Food was amazing, the pizzas are unreal we also had the crab pasta and they are not stingy on the crab. The service was so friendly and welcoming. So happy spaghetti tree is back.
