"on 9 november I proposed to my beautiful fiance. (she said yes! while we enjoyed a meal here, each one a bottle of wine, and some glasses champagner on the house. Not only that, they also gave us the bottle in which they use for reservations, designed by our waitress to mark our engagement. many thanks for making it so special, we will return."

"I originally did this review 3 years ago (pre covid). Am updating as have been back a few times since and it is still absolutely excellent. The menu is incredibly diverse but the quality throughout is exceptional. If you are sick of the usual chelmo chain slop and have picky eaters who want different cuisines you will do well here. I love the pastas and pizzas, have tried and loved schnitzel and stroganoff. They also do burgers I am tempted just to see their take on it but tbh there is so much more interesting stuff to try first. Highly recommended."

"We decided to change locations simply because they serve the best sandwich in town. My go-to choice is a toasted thin granary bread with ham and their delicious homemade coleslaw, all served by one of their attractive servers. They also offer Sandwich Platters for parties, and I've heard they even provide entertainment with dancers."

"Great pan-Asian restaurant. Our visit. My daughter and I had the blackened monk’s noodles and definitely our favourite dish. Very tasty. My husband and other daughter had Pad Thai and equally enjoyed it. Cocktails for are great with young adults. Both daughters had the chocolate dessert with coconut ice-cream which was presented well and tasted lovely. Not too busy when we visited early on a Sunday evening and service was prompt and friendly."

"I was appalled at the quality of service from the moment I arrived to the moment I left, which was about When I arrived I was not asked if I would like a drink, and I wasn't asked throughout the whole meal. The waitress should have seen on the table that we only had tap water, and asked whether we'd like another drink. Then, we ordered our first round of hot food. I pressed the help button and after waiting for a good minutes for the waitress finally arrived. I felt it was too long. At this point in the evening there were three full tables in the whole restaurant so I thought the amount of time we had to wait was poor. Then the food started coming over, but the food didn't come altogether. A couple of dishes came and then a few more and a few more after that. This meant we didn't all eat together, we ate all at different times. I had ordered two dishes to eat at the same time and they didn't arrive at the same time. Very disappointing. The third order of hot food was beyond a joke. It was clear that one of the two waitress wasn't feeling very well (I overheard one of the chef's telling her to go home). She was our waitress. So, we ordered the third round of hot food. minutes later we still didn't have our food. In this time the chef was talking to the ill waitress. I then pressed the help button and I explained that we'd ordered some food and had been waiting a rather long time. I then look round at the waitress and chef and it was absolutely clear that the order didn't go through so it was only then that the food was starting to be cooked. The waitress who took the order explained that there's been lots of issues and she was sorry. As a customer paying for a meal, I don't care about the issues, I still expected good service and my food to turn up. Overall I thought the service was absolutely terrible. I will not be visiting this restaurant again and I will not be recommending the restaurant to anyone."
