Sticks never fails to deliver with the food consistently excellent and well presented across all of their different restaurants. The menu is wide ranging and there is always something new to try. As ever the staff were brilliant and ensured that my table for 2 ordered just the right amount of food that offered loads of variety and left us comfortable full. Learning from experience I left plenty of room for the post sushi sticks that are always a treat. Being a Monday lunch slot we passed on the excellent cocktails today.. regrettably! I will be back...
