We had a reservation for 8 pm but arrived early from the cinema across the street. Staff found us a table within about 5 minutes. Waitstaff was very friendly. The shish kebab was delicious and the fries outstanding. Drinks were generous. The place was crowded and bustling. But amazingly we could actually have a conversation! We’ll definitely go back.

Nice atmosphere. Very good service. Cocktails were very good. Limited menu. We had the steak tips which were tasty, a bit chewy, and a relatively small portion compared to other local restaurants.

Food was great! They had perfect choices for a vegetarian and a gluten-free person. Very quiet on New Year's Day which was just what we were looking for. TVs in other room was a bit of a, distraction. Had it been a busier night, we wouldn't probably have enjoyed it so much.
