   Amazing service, attention to detail, amazing food and cannot compliment the staff highly enough. We had the steak (perfectly cooked) and the lobster and prawn risotto for main. Also had a couple of drinks, the house cocktail was lovely and the desert to finish was perfect. Cannot recommend this place highly enough. Again, the staff were amazing, very on the ball.

   Je suis française et ce n'est pas de la "soupe française" qui a été servi à mon mari. Le vin est excessivement cher alors que c'est du bas de gamme en France, seule l'entrée était bonne pour moi. La soupe de mon mari n'avait pas le goût de la rouille et mes pétoncles n'étaient vraiment pas à mon goût. Les croquettes au brocolis ou je ne sais quoi n'étaient vraiment pas bonnes. Le prix est très élevé, pas un sourire, ambiance froide, on aurait mieux fait de retourner dans un pub. On ne reviendra pas en tout cas. Le lieu est beau mais la nourriture ne vaut pas 90€ pour 2.

    Decidedly average. Very quiet for a Sunday afternoon which was telling in itself. The menu is trying too hard and not really doing the basics well enough. The steak sandwich comes with battered cauliflower instead of chips and the fish and chips is served on a very empty plate with greenery hidden. There are no desserts of any substance. I’m glad we tried it but not to be repeated.

    The food was bland. Crab claws with undercooked boiled potatoes did not look or taste appetizing, but my complaint was promptly dealt with & my replacement was a big improvement. My real complaint is with the seating arrangements - obviously fitting in more customers was more important than the 2m self distancing. I was sitting at the back (near fish tank) with my sister at a table for two & either side of us, two other tables for two. However, a group of 4 came in later & were seated directly behind me, with one of the guys pushing my chair as he settled himself comfortably into his! The waiter then arrived down with some bread/tapenade for the couple on my left & asked if I could pull my chair in a bit so he could pass!!! As the lady on my left said “it’s not you he should be asking to move, but the person behind you”. I tried to move closer but when it was obvious there wasn’t an inch between me & the guy behind me, the waiter then handed the bread over my head. At that stage, I was well & truly ready to leave, never to return.
