"Came with big family party for my birthday. Extremely disappointed, starters were ok but all came at different times, had to ask a waitress where one was as everyone else had finished theirs and she just looked absolutely clueless as to why we were talking to her. New waiter didn’t even know what dishes he was bringing out and looked at us to answer for him, fair enough he’s new but come on, train your staff the basics. Didn’t get free bottle of wine even though we ordered tapas. One blonde girl walking around just playing with her hair and we didn’t understand the point in her being there, she didn’t do a thing all night, she just looked like she’d got lost. We didn’t get asked if we wanted a drink the whole night, had to keep asking where our mains were, an hour and 45 minutes later they arrived and my ‘jerk’ chicken burger was so bad, the bread sopping wet and falling to bits and the chicken was just plain chicken breast with none of the **** cut off it and slightly seasoned. the ‘manager’ said this was cause the chef had put ‘loads of sauce on it’ but there was no sauce at all, bone dry chicken, didn’t put any spicy sauce in like I asked and when I requested it they brought me a squeezey bottle to do it myself. Cajun chips came plain and when we told them they just sprinkled some Cajun seasoning just on the top, meat was all fatty and sparse on the bbq combo dish, boneless chicken wings were just chicken tenders!!?? The ribs had no meat on at all literally just bone, curry was cold and plain with no flavour to it at all. Everything bang average, staff unbelievably immature, very badly trained with no customer service skills or communication skills. The managers response when we told him all this was ‘I can only apologise’ so we had to request for money to be knocked off our bill, which they did- fair enough but we had to really push for this. Feels like they hire very young staff and don’t bother training them. Honestly a very, very poor experience and would never go back or recommend to anyone. Don’t ignore the bad reviews they’re all very accurate. The only member of staff I appreciated tonight was the girl with the dark hair who first took our order, she was the only one with any customer service skill or any sense."

"we have booked to my man's birthday to eat 4.30 clock before we go to a show. we arrived 10 minutes early and were asked to wait in the hall on a sofa with several other people, then were shown to sit at the right time. we were not particularly welcome as we were taken down as there were so many people to dive around and then, as we tried to navigate the table, said the hostess, we had the table for 1 hour 30 minutes. Happy. When the waiter came to take our order, he said how they are, we answered well and asked him how he was, he replied atmospherically- only halfway through my layer. there was another table that celebrated a 60th birthday and frankly it was more like a Henne party that constantly screamed and singed, up to the point where we could not hear. eating was nice enough, but really the setting of the staff was not great. during booking we had the possibility of standard or high-seat - I chose high seating and honestly no warning, what that meant? I have also made special wish that it was my man's birthday and nothing was done? have they received this? I'm not sure what the point of this box is on the booking if it doesn't mean anything? to be fair, I could have said at the arrival, but the personal was so annoying and scarce, I could not really be harassed as we already made a cake for him. it wasn't the worst place I had eaten, and I would probably go back when someone invited me, but it didn't bother me to visit again."
