Thank you so much for the excellent evening - from the service to the meal it was all so well done. We were a larger group celebrating a family birthday and the entire team was amazing from start to finish. I highly recommend this restaurant for anything from a quick pre-theatre bite to a grand celebration. Amazing!

Our server, Reece was great! So pleasant and prompt. We were there for a ‘holiday’ get together and she was super patient as we hadn’t seen each other for a while and hadn’t even looked at the menu. She gave her recommendations and let us move at our own pace. When we needed anything (like a group picture) she was great there too.

We got there at 2:30pm in a Friday. It took about 15 minutes to get a menu. Our seat was pointed out instead of us being shown( I think this was due to being understaffed). The waiter was nice, a gentleman. The meal was nice for the price but the plating was not well done. I ordered theee kids French fries and chicken fingers and it was brought without Ketchup. Generally, it was a fair service , fair meal.
