"Wouldn 't go again! The food was average at best, the young waitress was beyond rude, the best but about our meal was the location of the table we sat on. When we arrived the last behind the bar was lovely and took our drinks order then we were shown to our table. We sat upstairs, the menu choice is not brilliant. Nevertheless we ordered our meal, it didn 't take long to come and it was ok average food you could get in any pub but overpriced for what it was. When it came to dessert we ordered at the bar (Nutella waffle with strawberries and ice cream) we asked for extra strawberries when ordering. When the waitress brought it out there was only 1 strawberry on the plate, I asked her why there was only 1 and she replied with attitude, well we don 't have any more I then told her we had asked for extra strawberries at the time of ordering and there wasn 't even the basic amount on the plate. She then came back with well they should have told you at the bar we didn 't have them she then proceeded to throw the spoons on the table turned and walked away. No apologies just bad attitude. This place really needs to teach their staff how to speak to customers. Then eating the dessert the waffle was hard and dry, the best part was the Nutella and that just came out of the jar! Seriously don 't waste your time and money on this place, first and last time myself and friends will be eating here."

"I have been wanting to visit here for ages but the stars have never aligned until Saturday. We were extremely lucky to get a walk in for the two of us. We were greeted by the owner and shown to a table. As we didn't have any drinks with us Peter suggested Tesco a few doors down and I was able to grab a bottle to enjoy with the meal. The service was wonderful and friendly and it felt like we had been going there for years, with just the right amount of care and advice. The food was exceptional from start to finish. We had the chicken satay and spring rolls to start and they were beautiful. The satay was amazing and was much darker in colour than any I have had before, but much better in flavour than any I have had before, I would definitely have these again. For main I had a chicken rendang and my wife ordered gule monkfish. The rendang was again perfect for my tastes. Spicy but flavourful with a generous portion that would satisfy the majority of eaters. I would have had seconds, even though I was stuffed because it was so good. I can't comment too much on the monkfish as I have a dislike of seafood, but my wife raved about it and said she's having the same again next time without question. So I think that sums it up. We finished with deserts of a rice pudding dish I think was called bubar, which was black rice and coconut, and the second dish we ordered was a Banana coconut pancake to which I forget the name. Again I couldn't find fault if I tried another 10 out of 10. At the end of the meal we met owner and chef Ami, who came to chat. It was lovely speaking to the owners and their passion for the food and customer service was clear. We cannot wait until our next visit"
