    Waiting staff not attentive. Slow. No check back to see if food OK. Not offered dessert menu. Not offered more drinks. Too long await once 2nd drinks were requested, by the time they came we were ready to go. No contact with any staff after drinks were served. Requesting bill was arduous. Whole table had stood up , used the rest rooms, put coats on and still had to ask at bar for bill. Male server was preparing desserts without his long hair tied back and was wearing chipped nail varnish Food was amazing and arrived hot. Disappointed

    For once I was disappointed with the food. Had the meatballs with spaghetti and they were slightly burnt on the outside with the whole dish lacking in any flavour. Such a shame as it’s the first time I’ve ever had food here that I haven’t enjoyed. Everything else was spot on as always, Service, Ambience and beer. This certainly won’t stop me coming back though.

    Can’t believe we’ve not been here since moving to the area a year ago! Food was really good, ambience was lovely and we had a great time. Will definitely be making regular visits here in the future.
