"We have been before and it was brilliant. However this is the last time I will be eating there again. The waitress was very rude and dismissive the whole time we were there. We ordered the T-bone to share and weren 't given the opportunity to tell them how we prefer it to be cooked. The steak then came blue massively underdone to our liking. This is not to say it wasn 't a top quality cut of meat because it assuredly was. However I was not willing to pay £95 for a steak that wasn 't cooked to my liking. After a rather long wait for the waitress to come back and ask how our meals were I ended up having to get up and go to see the manager to tell him I was unhappy with the meal and also the service, to which he replied, I 've been down to check on you 2ce and you never mentioned it then, what 's wrong with it now ? After which I told him he hadn 't been to check on us, as we had only just received our meal and that the waitress has been abrupt and rude all evening and that she hadn 't even asked how we would like our steak cooking before she disappeared off in a hurry. The waitress then joins the conversation from over his shoulder and said, I did ask and you said medium rare , which I wouldn 't have said as I prefer medium for that cut of steak and more to the point even if i did ask for medium rare the steak was blue! The managers response to this was to tell me to just pay for the drinks and not the steak. Rather than rectifying the steak and the service problem. After realizing I wasn 't willing to finish my drink but more than happy to pay for it he told me it 's fine and to just go. Safe to say it spoilt our evening. We drove an hour that night to enjoy a nice steak but went home hungry with a bitter taste in our mouths."

"So we were originally meant to be a table of 7 unfortunately 2 were unable to make it, it was a surprise birthday treat for a friends birthday, she knew she was heading out with one of the girls but wasn’t expecting the rest of us. The table we had booked wasn’t ready as they were still waiting for the previous party to vacate and we were asked to sit at the bar, the three of us nervous we wouldn’t get balloon decorations ready for the birthday girl ! But we managed it just in time, as said before some tables the staff offered to take coats and they never asked us, not a big gripe we had a big table and plenty of space of at a smaller table it might have been an issue but it was incredibly busy. We found the menu more than a little confusing ! Sunday menu wasn’t overly clear tbh but we all pretty much opted to go for steaks from the a la carte after all it was a special ocassion , we ordered a number of sides to go along with our steaks and mostly non alcoholic drinks but birthday girl was treated to a wine and a cheeky wee sambuca. The wait for the steaks wasn’t longer than I’d expect anywhere for freshly prepared food and gave us plenty time to chat and enjoy a catch up. Everyone was thoroughly impressed with how all the steaks were cooked and we were all suitably stuffed. We only had mains but we did have another surprise for the birthday girl a massive Costco cake the staff brought out for her along with plates knives forks etc and joined in singing happy birthday to her. Hopefully the staff all managed to get a slice later as it was never going to be eaten by all of us. The staff were all super friendly and couldn’t have been any nicer to us. I was a bit shocked at the £30 service charge as personally I always tip but like to make my own choice about how much to tip but it was reasonable and would have been roughly similar but can’t comment for the rest of the party. I will hopefully be back but with someone else paying next time lol"

"My friends and I had probably the worst “hospitality” experience due to the manager of this restaurant. First, the restaurant run out of water. Secondly, we have been asked to move table after 20min seating) since the manager had double booked our seats. We kindly accepted to move and they mentioned “the drinks will be on the house”. During the diner, we heard clients complaining about a similar double booking of table and the staff were trying to move the clients to different locations. The peak of this extremely poor experience was when receiving the bill. The drinks were added so we kindly asked the manager to remove the bottle of wine £50) and keep their word. The manager, coming to our table half hangover) replied we should be happy to have a table on walking and mentioned “I cannot remove the bottle of wine but I will give you 1x sparkling water and 1x bottle of Coca-Cola for free”. We were shocked and told him to call the “proper” responsible person of the restaurant assuming it couldn’t be him managing this place of high-end reputation. Unfortunately, he arrogantly said I’m the manager of this restaurant. This is all I can do for you today. Long story short, we were so angry with the manager behaviour that we said “fix the bill now or we will walkout without paying”, to which he reply “feel free to get out” and literally left the restaurant without telling anything to his staff. We had to wait 10min to understand he actually left the restaurant and left his team to deal with the situation without any feedback whatsoever. Thankfully the team sort it out instead, they were wonderful and apologies on behalf of the manager who apparently gets lot of amazing reviews reading the previous comments. Great food, beautiful decoration and a manager to take care off immediately!"
