"We came here for lunch one day, and felt the experience was disappointing. We were sat outside on the terrace, which was very cramped, and our table of 3 was spread out in a weird way. Our problem then started. We ordered a bottle of Malbec. Waitress came back and said they didn’t have any Malbec. We ordered a Cabernet Sauvignon. She returned and said they didn’t have this. Ordered a Merlot. Same thing. Then a Pinot Noir, same issue. It became ridiculous and we said it would be easier if she told us the wines she did have. She then started recommending all the wines £100+. We eventually chose a Bordeaux wine. She returned with a bottle, and then said “it’s not the same Bordeaux as you chose” and it transpired it was £30 more expensive. We had spent 15 minutes simply trying to get a bottle of red wine. The Bordeaux that we had was terrible, yet it was around £80. Quality of it was awful, was watery and more tasted like blackcurrant juice as opposed to wine. There was no body to this wine at all. However, the cocktails were enjoyable. Food wasn’t overly great. Burrata was nice, although wasn’t creamy and was quite hard more seemed like mozzarella. The ribeye steak was incredibly fatty struggled to get meat from it, although the chips were really nice. Overall, we wouldn’t return. What sort of restaurant doesn’t have a Malbec, Merlot, Pinot Noir or Cabernet Sauvignon?! The reason we were given was “we expect it to be quieter this time of the year and the Malbec is popular”. Not good enough."
