Lovely location and lovely decor.
Have had two bad experiences here the two times I’ve eaten here.
First time a friend and I both ordered eye fillet steaks. Our meals arrived and looked a bit different to usual. We started eating to find the steaks were a slightly pale colour and had a pork like texture. When I questioned the waitress if this was in fact beef she laughed at me and said yes, its definately beef. I was still skeptical so I asked why the menu has said it game with red wine jus and we’d got some sort of creamy sauce. At that point she said she’d ask the chef. When he returned she was in histerics and told us they’d given us eye tuna instead of beef eye fillet. I dont eat seafood and my friend is allergic so as you could imagine we did not fine this funny. They offered to replace our meals but we told them we had to get my friend to the a & e before she reacted. They apologised but still made us pay for our drinks.
Second time, some friends suggested this restaurant so I decided to give it another go. Not so great service the second time and my friend found a hair in his meal.
Overall, not so great.

We dined here on the 23rd and thought it was ok, not great but certainly not the worst either. Staff were friendly and service was good. Although the menu looked good with a wide selection and reasonably priced, when the food came out it didn’t quite live up to expectations. Our french fries came out cold and had to be returned (the waitress was understanding and a new bowl came out quickly), the tuna fillet although tasty, was drastically overcooked and the lamb with mascarpone and walnut rub was a bit disappointing. We had a nice enough evening but now that we’ve tried it we probably won’t rush back.
