"It was a birthday a meal and there were 10 of us. Some of us were regulars however it was the first time I’ve been here. So 4 stars for food, it was lovely starters and mains and for the atmosphere and setting. The...only thing that’s was poor was the side salad which was just full of spinach (don’t get it if you want a nice little salad to accompany your meal). I didn’t like that we got asked to stack our empty plates at the end of the table to be taken away (but it’s not a big deal really). I ordered a Pepsi and it tasted very watered down. It took a while to get a anybodys attention to get the Pepsi replaced and then maybe after what was a 10min wait someone came out and said they checked everything and it was all fine. Some of the party got the same drink but I changed mine. The time it took to deal with this and get us our drinks was ridiculous 1 star) The time for starters to come our and our mains considering we pre-order again was very long compared to other places I have been. 1star) Also I had to go up and ask them to clear our tables after a while because again they just had us sat there and only checked on us once while we were still eating. Although service was friendly it was so poor and inattentive even when we wanted to order a second rounds of drinks we had to wait a while and the get the attention of a server. This was throughout our whole meal. 1 star) Additionally I found out at during the meal that when we had to cancel some of the party members due to them having covid the response was quite rude. They had threatened prior to this to have to pay a fee if cancelled with 48 hours. I just think this is a very insensitive way to be during these times. (When comparing to other places I have eaten We had a birthday cake for them to bring out with candles and they did that with a guitar and tambarine which was a very lovely touch 1star) Over all I wouldn’t recommend this place or come back here based on my experience. I do want to stress that the food was lovely and servers were all very friendly but it wasn’t worth the amount of waiting and straining our necks we had to do to get more drinks etc."

"The restaurant is located on the first or second floor, providing beautiful views of the marina from the windows. The interior is rustic yet beautifully decorated, maintaining the industrial feel of the building. It features a large bar area and well-spaced tables, which create a much better acoustic environment compared to some of the busier places we’ve visited. Although the restaurant was lively that night, it wasn’t overwhelmingly loud, and the atmosphere was truly inviting. As for the food, it was exquisite. My partner opted for the venison Wellington from the specials menu, while I chose the filet steak from the main menu. Both dishes were beautifully presented, expertly cooked, and utterly delicious. We started with appetizers that were equally delightful, and for the first time in a long while, we both indulged in dessert. Not that we were still hungry—our meals were so delicious that we felt compelled to try a dessert, and we were not disappointed! While I can’t afford to dine here regularly, I would love to return for a special occasion. I highly recommend it to anyone seeking high-quality food served in a lovely atmosphere, where the staff greet you with smiles. If you’re after cheap, average fare, look elsewhere; you won’t find it here. However, if you crave delicious, original recipes cooked to perfection and served by attentive staff who genuinely care about their customers, then this is the place for you. We will definitely be coming back!"
