    Great evening and they were so accommodating, I made a mistake with my booking time and they were so lovely and did not pressure us at all for the table. The food was delicious and the team were outstanding.

    Excellent food, service just ok. One of our main dishes was forgotten, they brought an extra starter while we waited which was lovely and appreciated. Warm beer brought to the table at one point. Nice staff and great food but just not particularly sharp service Will be back though, Claire

    When a place has middle of the road food they really need to make up for it with the service. Conversely if the service is terrible the food needs to stand out. Our trip to Achara was a major disappointment on both fronts. The food was okay, though nothing to write home about. Between four of us we tried three different started and three different mains, none of which were terrible but none were great. The real issue was the service. The disinrerested disorganised experience spoke of a real problem at the heart of the place. We were served by up to four staff with no cohesion and long delays. At one point when explaining the huge delay between our starters and mains the server blamed us for ordering small plates as starters as “usually we serve things together” - fair point, if we had been told that when ordering! They must have realised we we’re disappointed as a complimentary round of drinks showed up on the bill, but that’s the only way we knew, they never told us or apologised. Overall a real shame, we really wanted to enjoy our meal and make a repeat trip but after the huge disappointment we won’t be back. Instead we will stick to Crudo, its streets ahead!

    Really excellent dining experience. Servers were really helpful, suggesting dishes and drinks. The aubergine large plate is a "must have"

    Very disappointing experience. Arrived, just sat down and was abruptly told the table was needed back in less than 90 mins (7.10pm), no hi or welcome. After we finished our starters manager came back and informed us the table was needed back in 10 mins (6.50pm). We informed the manager that the time was different to earlier, we had not received main course and if they wanted us gone quickly they should serve the food quicker. Terrible service & a pity as the food was good. We won’t be back.
