"Firstly, I am somewhat amazed at the reviews theis venue has based on our visit on Saturday evening. We arrived 45 minutes early for our table for 4 persons at 7.30pm as I had called ahead at lunchtime asking if they had a bar area that we could sit and select from the menu in advance of being seated in the restaurant. I was given the impression that they had a lavish area for this purpose. However, this was not the case and we were shown to our table on arrival which was probably the worst location in the restaurant that was sparse of diners at that time. I will elaborate on our table location as it made for a negative night. It was a circular table placed in a “gap” between the original restaurant area and what appeared to be an extension to the restaurant. This gap did have curtains that could have been closed which would have curtailed guests and staff squeezing between the wall and one of our chairs but when asked the Owner said he would not close them……. In fairness, “Theo” the Owner did offer the choice another two alternative tables but both were in no better location! We sat and ordered drinks and were provided with menus. The drinks arrived in a timely fashion and were made fine. I also ordered some wine which was decanted and allowed time to breath before being served. The wine was an Amorone but the year did not warrant the price he was charging but nonetheless was quite good. We placed our food order and in doing so I asked if chef would add a simple fried egg to top the steak I had ordered. I was told by Theo that he was down a number of staff on the evening shift and could not provide the egg. How many people would we have needed to fry an egg???? To be honest the whole experience was not worth almost £500.00 even though the food fine. We also found it disturbing the way Theo tried to control the waiting staff this may have been because they were young or new to the role but we felt that the staff did a good job and didn’t need micro managing! I am always curious when a front of house individual, who gives the impression he is in total control, loses the plot mid service. I did tell Theo I would give a poor review and he pretty much dismissed me so I dug a little deeper and it would appear the restaurant has suffered financial issues in the very recent past…….. this information is in the public domaine through Google. All in all we were so disappointed with a venue that appears to have a wealth of happy diners from their reviews……. It’s NOT that good Guys!!!"

"Me and my friend got there around 1.45am on Sunday 19th of June. Have to say I want to go there for a long time. Just grabbed the chance as my friend missed his coach back home. Said that to one of the security guys at the door, when asked for ID. Anyway, I had a picture of my passport on my mobile. Then the other security guy got involved in a quite hostile manner. He asked my friend how old he was. To 'defuse ' the atmosphere, I made a joke saying I don 't go around with under age guys. The bouncer didn 't like my joke (even if I said it was a joke) and started to behave with even more hostility. He said to get off from our mobiles (my friend had the picture of his ID on his phone as well)....don 't know where he got that liberty from....he insisted he had to scan our documents and a picture was not enough. I then said that was his problem as I was showing my ID as requested.....he went on and on saying what the argument was about. Replied I was simply making my point as on their website there was nothing about showing the ID. He then added we have to pay £2.50 each for the entry. There were 2 girls behind us (showing their ID to the other security guy) and no entry fee was asked to them. I have asked to the security guy I was dealing with if the entry fee was just for us or for everyone. I asked to talk with the manager. He turned his face and ignored me....I then asked how long we could stay in, paying the entry fee (the place is open 24/7) . He smiled and said 'how much are you ready to tip? ' Well.....think I don 't need to add anything else......I would really advice the owner/manager/whoever in charge to be more attentive in choosing their security stuff. Rude people asking for bribe shamelessly is not a good business card at the door of what supposed to be a decent business."
