"This experience was an absolute disaster. We joined a queue at the door which wasn't moving which we thought ridiculous as we were on time for our reservation. We asked those in front of us if they had reservations, they did not were waiting for a table. We were then seated placed our order. The drinks starters arrived promptly but having ordered a bottle of white wine I requested a wine cooler. I was brought a plastic jug of ice as they didn't have a proper cooler. After our starters we waited, waited, the tables around us started to empty so I asked our server what was the delay in our main course being served. She went away returned to say that the expected delay between starter main course was 30 minutes that we had been waiting 25 minutes. The main couse was not yet ready. The main course arrived all 3 meals were barely tepid on cold plates. Within a minute we all decided this was unacceptable called the server to complain requested the manager. An assistant manager came to the table. He basically had no excuse, offered his apologies agreed that we would not have to pay the bill. This had no impact on our disappointment as we had only eaten our starters had now lost our appetites. I would also like to comment that my main course choice was Whole Tail Scampi. I am in my 60s from Essex where scampi has been landed sold for generations. The food served did not resemble any scampi that I have ever eaten. Some of the pieces had visible dark grey fish skin which scampi does not have. In my opinion this was processed fish, probably Monkfish, processed coated to resemble scampi. What the term Wholetail is supposed to mean I have no idea but there were certainly no tails evident in my portion of this food. Altogether a terrible evening caused by the inadequacy of the staff to ensure quality service."

"Arrived to a quiet restaurant. Only saw one member of staff at that point who was busy behind the bar. So waited behind the sign for a few minutes then he walked around, glanced at us and carried on being busy. Then started to walk toward us and changed his mind again! Bit embarrassing really. Eventually came over and showed us to a table, may of been nice to ask us if that table was ok? It was fine. A lovely , friendly young lady served us maybe called ‘Mia’. We asked lots of questions as we had not ate there before. I requested a chicken breast as i do not eat any other part of the chicken i was told this was no problem. We were told to help ourselves to the salad bar. Was a bit underwhelming as lots of tomatoes and cucumber but only small amounts of coleslaw like they had ran out but was still only 7pm on a Saturday night. Got our meals and i didn’t receive a chicken breast, so embarrassingly had to ask. It was no problem though and i got one. Meal was ok , fries nice. Ribs nice . But.. sweet corn cold at one side and my friend said her was tasteless and boiled to death. We finished our meal which and sat chatting. The original man , who i am guessing to be the manager at this point , walked by us a few times and looked at our plates which we had put to one side and didnt take them? Maybe not his job? When i mentioned the sweet corn when the plates were removed , not much of a response! So mixed review, food adequate , filled us up. Not sure would return , Nando’s is around the same price but better quality. Perhaps Mia should work there as she would fit in the ‘team’ more comfortably."
