"It was a sunny evening, so it was quite busy, especially outside. Yet there was only one member of staff to serve everyone. She was friendly but didn't know what she was doing. We had to wait very long for everything. Food didn't arrive at the same time. When she gave us our menus, she also handed us the set menu lunch menu, I asked if we could still order from that because it was after seven, she said it was all fine so we ordered from the set menu (normally we don't order a starter, but we assumed the portions would be smaller because the price was considerably less than the same dishes on the normal a la carte menu). Even though the main was supposed to come with a side, we forgot to order and we were never told to pick one. Once the food finally arrived (two dishes were exactly the same, but one came about 5-7 min later than the other) we couldn't bother asking for our sides because it would probably take another hour. We also decided not to order coffee or dessert because of the long wait. In the end my mum went inside to pay because no one seemed to be serving us anymore. When she showed me the receipt when we got home I was shocked to see that we were charged full price for every dish and not the set menu prices. We had very small portions and no sides. At this point I couldn't be bothered to go back or contact them about it, also because we felt bad for the waitress who had to everything on her own and was friendly. The location is great, but it's overpriced and bad service. I wouldn't go back unless this changes."

"I have dined at this restaurant on several occasions previously and had a very positive experience, which was the case again on this visit. The decor and ambience is very understated and elegant and the atmosphere is relaxed with friendly and motivated staff. On this occasion, I felt the service at the beginning was a little slow in terms of acquiring menus and taking orders. This was possibly due to multiple tables all ready to order at the same time, one main waiter that I could see, (there may have been more) and not wanting to overwhelm the kitchen. Having said that, both the waiter and Manager were very professional and attentive when you did require service. I had the 3 course set lunch menu which was great value, a high standard of cooking and a generous portion size. My friend chose from the al a carte menu and she declared that her roasted cauliflower dish was truly delicious, so full flavour and beautifully presented. We did not feel rushed during our visit having spent approximately 2 and half hours over lunch and the settlement of the bill was easy and correct. The restaurant is spotless as are the restrooms and it is very clear that the Manager and his team take great pride in making their clients experience a positively memorable one. This restaurant deserves it's many accolades and I would highly recommend it if you are looking for good authentic food and friendly service."

"today, some colleagues visited and I am am amazed at a free lunch for the second time, as our work Christmas was so terrible. I wish we hadn't. Christmas celebration (main points or we will be here all day. shocking service no waiting staff long wait for pre ordered eating from set menu, between starter and dinner 1.5 hours and dinner and dessert another 1.5 beverage order had never arrived bar to lack it from the netzen including kartoffels horrific desserts some large few little bits about cooked some not cooked at all. lunch today (only 4 employees came the others did not want to waste their time very bad service, was not asked if eating was in order, not asked if we wanted more drinks, that was dropped and spilts over the whole place. cold eating blue bark, if said, would be more rarer table beside us complaining too. the personal runs like headless chickens like the Christmas party. at the end we had tired of waiting for our drinks bill, went out and paid at the bar. I can certainly say I will not come back, I will not receive my high time here and I will never recommend this place. what a waste of money to have a bad call. as a local person and business owner I am very disappointed and can recommend much better places for them to spend their hard money. I'm sorry that the woman is getting married here next week, much luck her and I hope we gave her enough warning to ensure that the team has correct staff levels and skills before the big day. they can't even be finished with a Sunday roast."
