"We went there for our 16th wedding anniversary and sadly I came away with food poisoning never experienced anything like it before I was overwhelming sick as well as I can't say what was happening at the other end never felt so bad in all my life. We will never eat there again. Hi Kerryi have tried to email the following Thank you for your response on trip advisor. Sadly after our visit I have never felt so bad in all my life I vomited so much it and I had diarrhoea until the early hours of the morning I have never felt so bad as I did after eating at your restaurant. I know I never messaged prior but even my husband said he had never seen me so bad before and he said as well I had food poisoning. Regards Tina"

"After visiting a special exhibition at the British Museum, we had lunch at this restaurant. We began with the crab and venison starters and shared a perfectly cooked medium rare beef dish. The atmosphere was fantastic, as always, and the service was impeccable. For dessert, we enjoyed the almond panna cotta. The wine list was extensive, with excellent wines available at reasonable prices."

"Having made a booking via OpenTable and receiving a confirmation email, 24 hours later had a phone call from Browns to say they could offer me a table at 5pm or 9pm but not at 7pm which was the time of my booking. No apologies just that the way it is. OpenTable just blamed Browns and said I could always phone the restaurant to confirm a booking, not seeing the ridiculousness of that suggestion as it renders their platform to irrelevance. So I am giving an all round one star, but to be clear we did not eat there."

"The restaurant was extremely quiet and the main dishes took a long time to be served. When they finally arrived, the side dishes were cold, which was surprising considering there were only 6 people in the restaurant. The steak was flavorful but a little tough. The service was not very good, as we had to repeatedly ask for water. The staff was accommodating in taking items off the bill for being cold, but overall I would not return to this restaurant."

"Best customer service I’ve ever received. Food quality is amazing. Waiter and waitress were extremely helpful when we were asking multiple questions about the menu and portion sizes. Would definitely recommend and will be returning soon."

"staff just did not want to be there. they didn’t know how to work the heaters, couldnt decide where to put the host stand, looked at us funny when we asked a question about the menu. the decorations outdoors were nice but inside was dark and dreary. food was mediocre, the french toast was good but cost around £13, they brought out one small piece of toast. the egg burger was just average, just a brioche bun with scrambled eggs with a few green chillies sprinkled around inside the egg. no garnish, no side, nothing to make it special. absolutely not worth it for the price."

"Firstly .. the whole restaurant needs a complete overhaul .. shoddy and shabby dated decor .. the light fittings were thick with dust and grease .. sat facing mirrors .. my view dirty walls and skirting boards, dried out imitation plants and dirty velour chairs at the table facing me .. the music was loud and inappropriate for a restaurant Bare tables, no condiments. My £8 glass of wine was served in the most basic of cheap wine glasses .. water served in a glass with a straw stuck in it .. no jug for the table .. dirty shabby menus .. ordered crispy beef. .. served luke warm and not crispy.. asked the obvious crispy beef ?? to be told it’s crispy beef but not crispy as it’s their signature dish which is crispy beef but not crispy .. makes no sense .. ordered mushroom bruschetta to have a scorched wedge of ciabatta and a few mushrooms .. red pepper in the mix of the concoction with very little sauce .. the young boy who served us was very apologetic and did his best in the circumstances. To be sat in this restaurant was not only a depressing environment and experience the food is completely overpriced from what appears to be cooked by a cook .. not a chef .. for this restaurant to be trading there must be very little competition in the area for them to get away with serving what they serve in canteen surrounding .."

"Terrible experience. We were in the restaurant section and paid for an ‘experience’ and we got one, a bad one. The whole operation in this place is a shambles but the food is actually authentic Indian cuisine and very good….when it arrives we waited 2 hours). The staff had no idea that we PRE—PAID £92). The restaurant was freezing yet none of the staff were masked, service was poor and unattentive, the restaurant was very bright and had zero ambience. We couldn’t wait to leave."

"They did not have any oysters left which was a big disappointment. We went with the halibut fish n’chips hoping for a new taste compared to the traditional codfish or haddock. The fish was delicious but we found the crust to be a bit too greasy. We had a similar dish recently at another restaurant that was so much more delicately done and more tasty. The service was a bit odd lacking in friendliness and we had a hard time understanding the waitress."

"Nice enough little restaurant and very comfortable seating and ambience, but food wasn’t great. Ordered a simple tomato and basil pasta and a pesto pasta, both arriving at the table within a couple of minutes of being ordered, and weren’t flavoursome at all. Service was ok at best, when you could get the attention on the waiting staff. There’s definitely much better Italian restaurants to go to, at a similar or cheaper price not to far away from here."

"Staff were pleasant but just not very well trained. Our waiter told us that the tuna steak could only be cooked medium or well done. The Tuna was listed in the grill section of the menu alongside all of the steaks, so he was convinced that it should come with a mushroom even though we requested a salad instead. When he came back from the kitchen he confirmed that we could have it rare with a salad. He then went on to ask us if we wanted the Peppercorn, Bearnaise or Blue cheese sauce with it..... My wife had the tuna it was overcooked. I ordered the smokey venison I was presented with a beautiful platter of rare medallions under a bell jar. The waiter then apologised for the lack of smoke under the bell jar the chef's smoking gun was broken. I should have been told this when I ordered it then he could have left the bell jar in the kitchen! The Venison was delicious just a shame about the lack of smoke I think it would have made it amazing."

"Food was amazing as usual. Service really let it down this visit. There was not one thing we didn’t have to ask for. Had to ask for kids menu, sat for about 15 minutes with no one coming over, had to ask for them to take our order, baring in mind there was multiple staff stood around. Kids meal meant to come with tortilla chips that never came, they ordered ice cream each for dessert and it came in the same bowl? Not ideal for a 2 year old and a 7 year old, so ended up putting one on a plate. There was nothing major wrong, just very reactive staff rather than proactive. When 10% of the bill is service charge you expect at least average service"

"Actually, this place has to hire friendly staff. two of them were completely inappropriate, especially one of the managers on the floor. I couldn't wait to go from the table within seconds. I mean, if they ask someone how to eat, they at least try to pretend that they hear the answer! when we ask for black pepper....we mean freshly ground pepper....not the cheap witness they leave on the table. the food took a because to come when we asked that everything (starter and net) comes at the same time. I don't know why they are punished when we go for this option, but that was a break. the food was well cooked and pleasant, but the experience was not great. and back to the useless manager, if we wish a reception after the payment with a credit card, we do not want the credit card receipt to the preprinted bill with the list of ordered items."

"I have visited this restaurant before and enjoyed their Sunday lunch, and I was not disappointed this time around. Despite the renovations causing it to be very busy, we were squeezed into a small table alongside other guests. It did take a bit longer than usual for our food to arrive, and our drinks took 20 minutes to be served. Additionally, getting into the building was a bit of a challenge as exits were blocked and there were no signs for guidance. Despite these minor inconveniences, I look forward to visiting again in the near future. Thank you, Susan Duncan."

"yesterday, to celebrate my friend birthday and the efforts of the workers surpassed my expectations! when I booked a table, I asked if at the end of our meal they could bring a piece of cake with a candle. they brought a piece of delicious chocolate cake, served with an ice cream, with a sparkling candle and they wrote on the teller happy birthday and my friends names! They all helped me to sing a happy birthday and let my friend be pretty embarrassed as he expected nothing! we had a great night! Many thanks to all amazing employees who feel very special to us! Not even mention that eating is absolutely amazing! meat is very served...read more"

"Honestly this place needs to hire friendlier staff. Two of them were completely unsuitable, especially one of the managers on the floor. Couldn't wait to walk away within seconds of serving the table. I mean when you ask someone how the food is, at least try and pretend you're listening to the answer! When we ask for black pepper....we mean freshly ground pepper....not the cheap stuff you leave on the table. Food took a while to arrive (25mins) when we asked for everything (starters and mains) to come at the same time. I don't know why you get penalised whenever we go for this option but that was a let down. Food was well cooked and enjoyable but the experience was not great. And back to the useless manager when we ask for a receipt after paying with a credit card, we want the credit card receipt not the pre printed bill with the list of items ordered."
