"I would give my experience a 0 out of 10. The manager at the bar made us feel unwelcome and was rude to me and my mother when we arrived. He only allowed us to order from one side of the menu, claiming it would be too much strain on the chef. Despite the place being empty, he insisted that we could only sit on one side of the restaurant. We decided to leave after ordering drinks, as the service was unprofessional and disappointing. It's a shame because we had a good experience last summer when the owner was not present. It seems like the place has changed for the worse. I would recommend going to the Nags Head pub across the road instead. I will be leaving a positive review there. Apologies for the negative feedback."

Really tasty mixed grill. All nice and hot apart from the mushrooms. Only thing missing, just a personal preference, was peas and eggs. Not too long to wait after placing order.

We had a wonderful dining experience at this restaurant. The food was excellent, and we even had the opportunity to speak with the chef and compliment him on how delicious our meal was.

We went here on a last-minute decision. The food was tremendous, and the staff were amazing. Nothing was too much trouble. I thought the music was brilliant, and we will definitely go back. View menu

The food at this restaurant is absolutely amazing and very hot. I had the rib and rump, which was outstanding. The old faithful dish was the best meal by far. The local staff are friendly and very helpful, providing amazing service. They are more than willing to assist with any task.

Family meal on Sat 3rd Feb. Told the wait was 30 mins but still waiting for food 1hr and 10 minutes later. No good when you have 3 hungry kids with you. We eat here all the time but very disappointed this time around. I asked for my meal to be taken off the bill as it was awful. This was one of my Grandsons favourite places to eat but not anymore.

"Friday night is busy for most, I 'm sure. Appalled by the service in all honesty. Staff seem smug and unattentive. It 's too much trouble to tend your (paying) needs. To be fair.. I am mostly speaking of one particular staff member, but it appears he is the manager/lead server. I can 't differentiate as there were no introductions.. I 'm not bothered about that; necessarily, I 'm trying to stay mutual, but last night, I was so disappointed. Staff leaning over you to take plates without communication of their intentions. I 'm wondering what this place is trying to be, fine dining, or just a typical restaurant.. their attitudes claim they are of the finer sort (including the prices) Poppadoms are made to seem complimentary as you wait. But don 't worry, they will charge you.. there 's a real lack of transparency and connection between customers/staff.. I did enjoy the food somewhat, but It wasn 't brilliant.. I 've had better at the local indian takeaway, in all honesty. The receipt was confusing too (party of 10) It was very difficult to figure out the full costs per person as it was all mixed up. Whilst trying to calculate the costs per individual said staff member was hovering around and made it seem such an inconvenience, and we felt rushed. I believe I am very fair and I always give people multiple chances, but his service was unacceptable... everything was a problem for him. Perhaps it 's a difference of cultures, however, having travelled the world to a a varying degree I have never felt this way, most places have made me feel welcome and this one of the reviews I have left feeling so strongly about it. Every person of the party has shared the same view, so I am not only speaking for myself. He delegated as to how much rice or sides we should have 'as he had accounted for it all ' Which leads me to believe they are aiming for a more prestigious type establishment.. There are very few places that offer THAT type experience in Southport.. and this is not the place. I don 't want to appear angry as I enjoy experiencing all types of food/environments etc etc. But this wasn 't the experience I was led to expect. I haven 't contacted the restaurant yet, but I don 't even know if anything I say (in regards to this visit) will have any effect on their future projections. I hope it was just a busy day, and they were a bit troubled with what was going on.. if that is the case, I will 100% give them another chance and hope that they can treat whomever may enter their restaurant in a manner of which is exciting and enjoyable. After further inspection of the final bill, there were extra items added on said waiter had 'accounted ' for what we required, yet we had far too much rice and other various sides. For example.. if you order 4 beers, it should state 4x beers, But they seem to work it: 1x beer, 1 x rice , 1 x beer, 1x rice, 1x beer, etc etc (for example) Even though we ordered drinks initially, which should all be counted in chronological order. I still have the receipt but didn 't want to post a picture as I 'm sure I have said enough to give a little embarrassment. We were very disappointed and haven 't stopped talking about it since. Don 't have such high expectations and you won 't be disappointed.
