    Table and chairs were dirty. Hummus had the consistency of and tasted like congealed gravy. Our first waiter forgot we were there. The other waiter who took over was friendly. The candle was taken from our table whilst we were still eating in preparation for breakfast. Predictable mushroom risotto for plant based diners. I ordered the roasted cauliflower and asked for it without the duck egg. I make better myself. The rest of the food was okay but not great. We definitely wouldn't eat here again.

    The service was fantastic and the quality of the food was excellent. The surprise dessert for my son’s birthday was an unexpected surprise. A little pricey but a very enjoyable night.

    We form an opinion of a restaurant by looking through the window or if possible a photo online .Has it got comfortable seating (not a hard wooden type seats) and here has it with a nice space between tables with white napkins provided also Christmes crackers too ,no glass breaking racket of loud music ,yes moderate background music which certainly isnt intrusive. Normal comfortable temperature. Very pleasant helpful courteous staff. Menu,could have a little more choice. This is a modern restaurant without fuss and last but not least washrooms as they should be ,pristene.

    No atmosphere given that its christmas. Even though I confirmed we had one coeliac when booking and again when ordering I still received wheaten bread. The cheese board was very poor with more ham than cheese. We were £20 over charged which I had to point out. Staff were not attentive throughout the meal and only remembered the xmas crackers after we had sat down. Everything we got was over priced Overall a very forgettable experience.

    Service slow. Staff pleasant. Food presentation poor. Lack of imagination. Quality of food average. Food and presentation did not match up to the restaurant’s own marketing. Disappointing.
