Pretty average, the service was slow and arrogant, the food was ok, ordered fish – dry with not much flavor. Also noticed they mix the opened and unopened bottles of wine, it put me off completely. There were also flies and dust all over the windowsills. Overall it took over an hour to order and eat my meal, pretty strange considering it was very quiet. Wouldn’t recommend.

Thanks for your review, i would like to help clarify a couple of issues you may have had, the fish you had was fresh (caught that day) so i am suprised you found it dry. We do not mix open & unopened wines, we are a wine bar so pride ourselves on the selection of…    More »

We had a lunch booking for 11. We had phoned in our order based on the menu from their web site. We were contacted the next day and told the menu had changed so we had to order again, which was a slight mission as we only had a limited time to phone around. Myself and a freind were the first to arrive and once seated staff brought out 3 meals! We thought this was pretty odd.

Overall our meals were nice. The service was very friendly and we even had a choice of tables which was a thoughtful touch. I would happily dine their again.

Damn shame the Kitchen couldn’t be bothered staying open for four more paying customers who where looking forward to dinning there after all it was only 8.30pm.. with dinners still at there tables eating!!We had walked passed about half a hour early & had asked how long they are open for we had been told until late!!. The staffs attitude was not so great either.

Often tables may still be eating however the kitchen will be closed, once the kitchen is closed and chefs are packing up it is often not possible to take further orders. It is a shame you were not able to dine with us which is why we recommend making a reservation…    More »
