   Food was tasty. Service was rushed. We were asked at least 5 times with-in 10 minutes if we were ready to order. Ambience was festive. During the holidays they added a 25% service fee. It was a good thing I read the fine print on the menu which stated that the service fee was discretionary. I contested it and paid 12.5% which is the industry standard in England. Some of the other customers where not made aware of this and left quite angry. At least two tables while we were there. If I had known about the service fee ahead of time, I would have gone there. Food was good but not worth the 25% service fee.

   Food was amazing, but we were a bit disappointed to see a 25% service charge added, which we had removed, we just felt this was a bit much due to the business of the restaurant

   It was a very nice meal - very good lamb shank. We were looking for somewhere that was casual, relaxed, good food and good value and that is what we got. We booked for a Thursday night around theatre dinner time. There were spare tables but I am glad we made the reservation as the restaurant was very busy.

   The food was poor the bread that came with the starter was not fresh and thin cheap bread. No finger bowl for king prawns. The tuna salad had tinned tuna not tuna steak. The place is nice inside and service is good just need to bring the food up to a higher level for the prices, wouldn’t go back.
