"I’ve been to Middletons a few times before and always a had a good experience/food. I was looking forward to the meal all week. First thing I said when we sat down was ‘this is a cosy table of 8’ our elbows were literally touching the next table. Felt uncomfortable having any sort of conversation as everyone was looking. None of the spot lights above us were turned on, we had to turn the torch on our phones on to read the menu, as did people either side of us. The only section in the restaurant with no lights on. We were told when booking and when we arrived that the table had to be back by 8.30. Starters came out 7.16pm we joked and said we’d be out by 7.45pm if it’s this quick. Wrong! We had to ask for our mains at 8.05pm. The veg in my halloumi and veg skewers was slightly warm and didn’t looked grilled at all. We asked for some more drinks in the long gap as we were getting thirsty and the waitress brought over someone else’s and even read out our correct drinks from the ticket and apologised. When I got my mains of steak and chicken with jacket and greens.. the chicken was half the size I’ve previously had and dry, steak was fine. Greens were cold and crunchy and potato was raw and hadn’t been baked in the oven at all and rushed in the microwave. Waitress was very apologetic and replaced these straight away. Both male and female toilets had a cubicle that needed assistance. Lighting in there was so bad that my husband walked in to another man as they just couldn’t see. When we also got up to leave, we knocked everything off the next table as they were so close, so that was embarrassing picking it all up. We should have asked for money off but just wanted to get out of there. This is the first time we haven’t tipped in a restaurant ever and my husband joked it was that bad he feels like setting up a trip advisor account just to leave a review. What a shame. As it was Valentine’s Day, I feel we’ve all been crammed in and rushed out. We certainly got forgotten."

"We arrived for our reservation and, at first glance, it seemed to live up to the hype—this was the highlight of the evening. After waiting about three minutes at the entry, Callie beckoned us over from the bar in a rather erratic manner. The interaction was confusing and awkward; we felt like we were constantly trying to navigate the experience. While she prepared our cocktails, we noticed the drink was poorly made: the lemonade was flat, and the cocktail tasted overly sweet and undrinkable. Our waiter suggested we drink it quickly to be polite. We settled into the lounge, still excited about the evening and the amazing food everyone had raved about. However, we were greeted with the odd soundtrack of "Top 10 Breakup Songs." When it was finally time to take our seats, we had to insist that we had a reservation. It felt strange to be questioned about our booking after already confirming it at the bar. I requested a drink change, explaining that my cocktail was overly diluted, flat, and too sweet for my liking. I asked for a Negroni, but five minutes later, I was told they couldn’t make one because they didn’t have the ingredients. Understandable, given that it was off-menu, but I opted for a Tom Collins instead. Unfortunately, it also arrived flat and poorly mixed, this time with an excessive amount of gin. After waiting for an hour for someone to take our food order, we decided to change our minds and asked for the bill for our drinks, which never came. Frustrated, we eventually left. This experience completely ruined our night. We reached out privately to share our concerns, but they haven’t responded, which shows they clearly don’t care. So, I’m sharing my review publicly instead."
