Service was slow and disjointed as we kept having different servers. Food came before drinks. Drinks missing. Sloppy service Nice ribs and wings but no accompaniments. Very meat heavy menu. Huge portion of wings for reasonable price made me question the quality of the meat

I was really looking forward to eating here after hearing such good reviews and I was so disappointed. The vegetarian burger was tasteless and chips cold. I was with a friend who ordered the chicken burger and they reported the same. Added to this after we were seated and served noone came to check if our food was ok. The staff when they did speak with us were mannerly. It's such a pity for a hotel that had so much potential.

There is a nice atmosphere in the restaurant. The service was poor and we had to ask for our glasses of wine on 3 occasions. The chips that were served were overcooked so we did complain about this. The risotto ordered was very bland. Thought menu was too restricted, not enough main course choices.

The chicken wings were amazing. Really good and a decent size portion. Myself and the wife shared. My wife has the salmon which was delicious and I had the steak sandwich. The steak was very grisly and the goats cheese really didn’t work for me. Also the dirty fries were underwhelming and could be better. Even to add some pepper sauce would make a difference. Thanks

A very enjoyable meal. Food was tasty and reasonably priced. The decor of the restaurant is in keeping with the hotel and is very visually appealing. Table was a little on the small side for 4 people and anything used needed to be cleared away regularly. Waiter was pleasant and efficient and remembered all our orders without writing them down. Food was tasty and nice and hot when served. Would happily return and recommend to others.

While food is good the service was super slow and where we were seated was freezing and remained so despite repeated requests to get heating turned up. Staff who had finished their shifts were walking through the main dining area passed us while we waited on them to bring us our orders! When we went to order dessert we were told kitchen was closed but had not been warned of same given difficulty trying to get staffs attention . The branch in Tempebar is much better serviced.

Service was so poor. The food is lovely here but it took up 50 mins to get our mains. We had ordered a soup as a starter and they just completely forgot about it. Had to rush to eat my food before getting back to work. I know places are understaffed but they shouldn’t take so many reservations if they are understaffed.

I’ve been there a few times now and their burgers are good but served nearly cold, fries get cold very fast too so you have to eat your meal very fast. Also, the roasted tomato was not roasted but just a slice of tomato, cold from the fridge.
