"I had been out for a lovely walk in the area and whilst staying over close by one of the locals when having a coffee recommended this little place to try . So as i like to try new places why not. And i can say i wasnt disappointed. From first seeing the place from the outside it was lovely and seemed very inviting. Lovely seating area . Walking in it was tastefully decorated and modern . Areas inside seemed warm and inviting. Found a lovely little corner with my friends and decided to have a drink first while scouring the menu. Bar staff very friendly and chatty on arrival which made it seem like a very friendly place. Seemed very knowledgeable about the area and advised of other places to try . So decided on a drink and a scour of the menu. They didnt disappoint . Seemed to have a good menu choice and catered for all of our party including veggie options. Once meal arrived the food looked well presented and inviting. Smelt and tasted delicious. Staff checking if everything was ok was a nice touch too. No problems with out meal. I myself decided on Katsu Curry and it was delicious. Great portion sizes and not one complaint between us . Defo a winner in my book. Bar Manager seemed very friendly and approachable when passing asking if everything was ok. On leaving we had nothing but good reports about the place. Next day we again went back for the Sunday lunch and again not disappointed. Very friendly staff again, delicious sunday roast and a lovely cozy atmosphere to boot. This is defo going to be a new place to frequent on visits to Boweness. SO big massive shout out to this place and the team fab job ! one happy customer and i will be spreading the words to other colleagues of mine who work within the hospital and mention what a hidden gem this place is. Thanks Again Charli"

"the beautiful dame that supported, said it was new in the seasonal menu and although she had not tried it, it described as succulent crispy escape. was very disappointed as...it was not crispy at all, the edges were dry, and would not juicy escape they would expect. after a bit, I have resigned my own meal, my dinner partner suggested that I float as he had ordered the pig, it was trying better than my, but not a big pig fan! I left my dinner, at one point the waitress checked for us, as asked if everything was in order, how obviously my teller was still full of my cute was obviously signed I was done. After she had explained the situation, she asked if there was something else she could bring me, but since we had waited a good mins since the beginning, I did not want to eat alone after they had to cook again, said my eating partner, he could also have mine if he wanted, as it would otherwise go. he ate my dish from the wide dry edges and the not crispy skin, the waitress asked if she could bring me more broth instead, honestly I found that a tad offensive the cure menu prices. we rejected dessert and chose for the cheese platter, cheese was amazing, but I would consider it, the cheese car as a couple were flying on them then fly on them during the conservation. to be honest, after all that I expected some of a accommodation on the last bill, only when I was questioned after the original with the full bill, I was offered free tea/coffee in the lounge when I refused how about a glass wee, hmmm, maybe read the room, I am very disappointed, I paid the full bill and left accommodation, I understand that if on menus place, I do not change anything. I would otherwise suggest to eat elsewhere, I have never spoken with a manager, I would have welcomed this opportunity, so hope I finally get an answer from the team in the restaurant so that I can update this review with a more positive result!"
