    Have been here a good few times, love the restaurant and the food. A bit disappointed with the service today, the waiter was more interested in other tables. We had to ask several times for more water, and we were asked at the end if we were leaving a tip. I found that to be very rude!

    Ordered chicken wings and fish and chips. The wings were dry and hard. Chips were poor quality and stuck together. Fish was ok but not worth the price. Service was super and we were offered two free drinks for the dodgey wings. Nice setting but food left a lot to be desired. Will be back for a drink but will eat elsewhere

    The size of the chicken wings were a disgrace. A third of the size they used to be. The amount of sauce on the chicken wings also decreased.

    We're frequent visitors and usually would score 4 or 5 stars on everything. Today was a bit disappointing - bruschetta was very small portion for price point ...

    It was fine. Food is just ok. Over priced wine list for poor quality wine. Staff/service was very good thankfully. Wouldn’t be rushing back to be honest.
