    Disappointed 25 minutes late to be seated and then rushed out of our seat to get other guest in. Not what I expect for a place with such a price point. Poor treatment and no empathy from the staff. Asked for a window and nothing was given even though the restaurant was nowhere near capacity. Food quality and waiter service good. Unfortunately being made to feel unwanted overrides that somewhat.

    Impressive and fun environment for dining but food and drink was pretty mediocre and overpriced. Other downside was the QR code/app ordering system in the bar area where we tried to get pre-dinner drinks. Very slow/cumbersome and required data irrelevant to transaction so eventually gave up in frustration/irritation. Normal table service would be hugely preferable. Good night overall though and staff were friendly and helpful.

    Lovely food and good service in great surroundings but it’s a place for an occasion as it’s pricey and it states on their website that the dress code is glamorous. Well not on Sunday lunchtime it wasn’t- jeans and jumpers ruled! This was disappointing- we paid £250 for lunch for two and a bit of pizazz is needed for that price. Won’t be going again.
