    The food was not good at all. Steaks tiny with lots of fat. Mussels very fishy. Way overpriced for the food.

    Nice place. Very busy. Not as attentive as some restaurants due to scale of operation. No real complaints. Food was very nice, but felt as though definitely paying for the name so marked down on value for money.

    It was a fairly good set lunch & appeared to be good value, but all the add on’s ended up making it an expensive lunch.

    Everything was amazing. Food was perfect we order one set menu and the rest was a la carte. The only plate I did not like a lot was the Steak tartar, but the rest DELICIOUS. They gave me a small dessert with a candle for my birthday!
