"Whilst the food was nice and reasonably priced, the service left a lot to desired. We had a table booked for 8pm all as we’d expect by this point. We ordered a pint of Stella and a glass of lemonade plus a jug of water for the table, so nothing too exotic or taxing to prepare. 15 minutes later our drinks arrived, minus the jug of water and our food order was taken. So it’s now just a few minutes after 8pm and we order, again nothing to difficult, just 2 sirloin steaks; one medium and one rare. Fast forward a while to 9:20 and our food still hasn’t arrived, neither has the jug of water we ordered 1 1/2 hours ago. Now I don’t expect to be eating within 5 minutes of sitting down but neither do I expect to be waiting 1 1/2 hours for my first course. I called a waiter over to ask if he could find out how long our food was likely to be and it must’ve been some kind of divine intervention because within about 10 seconds our food was on the table. I decided to risk it and ask for another pint of Stella, big mistake. We ate our main course and our dessert was brought out about 5 minutes later. Luckily we had the foresight to order dessert at the same time as our mains. We finished our desserts at no great pace, just relaxing and chatting while we ate and still waiting for the beer I’d ordered which never materialised. Paid the bill and left around about 10:20. Whilst the venue was pleasant as was was the food, the service left little to be desired. Will I go back? Perhaps, perhaps not. We left satisfied with the food but very disappointed with the service."

Paper napkins. Not a place I will return. Now I know why I was able to make a reservation last minute.

They are not listed on OpenTable, so don't make a reservation through that platform. I didn't want to rate them since I didn’t get to experience the restaurant due to the unprofessionalism of the staff.

They are not listed on OpenTable, nor do they accept reservations through this method. I didn't want to give any stars because I had no experience at the restaurant due to the unprofessional behavior of the staff.

This is not a restaurant; it's more like a hotel cafeteria. The staff had difficulty communicating due to their limited English, and they seemed unsure of who we were and why we were there. The menus were poorly printed on paper, with some having food remnants stuck to them. We asked if we were in the right place, quickly had a drink, and then left.

This place is less of a restaurant and more of a hotel cafeteria. The staff struggled to communicate due to their limited English and seemed unaware of our presence or purpose for being there. The menus were crumpled scraps of paper, some of which even had food debris on them. After confirming that we were in the right place, we opted for a quick drink and left rather than eating.

Fast forward to 9:20, and our food still hadn’t arrived, nor had the water we ordered an hour and a half earlier. I don’t expect to be served within five minutes, but waiting an hour and a half for the first course is excessive. I called a waiter to check on our food, and miracle of miracles, within about 10 seconds, our meals appeared at the table. I made the mistake of asking for another pint of Stella. We finished our main courses, and our desserts came about five minutes later—thankfully, we had ordered them at the same time as our mains. We enjoyed our desserts without much fuss, just relaxing and chatting while we waited for the beer I had ordered, which never arrived. We settled t...
