Charlotte's Reviews

We went for a romantic meal and it certainly delivered. We sat on the first floor, which had about 6 tables and was reminiscent of being on a boat. Elegant & cosy. The food was outstanding as was the recommended wine and for fine dining, was good value for money. I had a delicious vegetarian soup from a separate menu, bursting with flavor, followed by gnocchi. I found that the vegetarian choices that I liked the sound of were a bit repetitive so it was great that they accommodated me. My husband had scallops followed by steak. I didn't try, being a vegetarian, but it looked fabulous and he enjoyed it.
Our only gripe was the service. Although attentive, our waiter had a strange manner & came across as a bit sarcastic & short to start with, but I think he was trying to be funny.
For romantic special occasions, I would recommend this restaurant.

Went for my wedding anniversary last night. I told them it was my anniversary when I booked and when we were seated, they gave us complimentary glasses of champagne to congratulate us, which was lovely. They also gave us a complementary plate of personalised chocolate treats for dessert. The service was outstanding. The food was pretty good. Delicious beetroot soup with horseradish cream to start, followed by a tuna dish, which was cooked to perfection, but was just too big. It was served with a cucumber and chilli salad, very nice, but could have done with something else on the plate. Wine was rediculously expensive (my single glass was about £12 & that was at the cheaper end, although delicious) and the waiter let me try a few before selecting one.
Atmosphere was lovely, but it definetly had that hotel feel about it. I think that because it was a bank-holiday monday night, it was a bit on the quiet side. Saw quite a few celebs relaxing in the bar area though!

Went with friends for my birthday. Only downfall was a long-table, which I find really unsociable for large groups. They took care of us though, very friendly service. Really lively noisy late bar with live band and sophisticated restaurant at the back (quite a stark contrast from each other), with a blue room in the middle where you can have drinks before or after dinner if you reserve a table. That bit looks a bit like a lap dancing club (not that I'm a regular at these places!)
Food in restaurant was quite a high standard except my husband said his beef was a bit over-done. I had a fish dish with a pomegranite dressing, which was very nice. Wont hurry back, but pleased I went.

Good venue for a night out with a difference. I actually hired the 2 lane room for my 30th a few years ago & it was very good (food, drinks, service). Went back this saturday night with my husband for a quick bite & bowl & was quite impressed with the food in the diner, as it could have been poor in a gimmicky place like this. Quesadillas to start were ok and a salad as a main, which was really nice. Husband had deep fried squid & ribs, which he really enjoyed. Its a good place for a hen night/leaving-do.

Been a couple of times now. Service always great, very welcoming & attentive. Food is average. Traditional french onion soup was nice, desserts not great. My friends' ordered a pear tart that wasn't thoroughly cooked so they sent them back. On a previous visit I ordered tarte tatin and the taste was a bit bitter, as though the sugar had been burnt. A real celebrity hotspot, we saw 4 big names in one night! A real hidden gem, very romantic & cosy, would be perfect if the cooking standard was a bit higher.

I've eaten lunch here a few times over the last few years and have never been disppointed. However, I had dinner here on saturday night with some friends and my main course of beer battered cod was absolutely appauling. Prepare to gag… Beneath the batter was hardly any cod, it was just soggy on the inside and I had a mouth full of fish scales!! My starter of pear & cheese tart was nice; usual gastro pub dish heavy in balsamic, but nice nonetheless. We shared a pud, a crumble, which was lovely. Service, although friendly, wasn't up to standard, as we had to remind them of our drinks order (the restaurant wasn't full at this stage either) and our plates were left in front of us for far too long. The waiter paid us most attention when he came begging for business cards for a prize draw as the staff compete with each other to collect the most. I won't visit there again if I can help it, purely because if the terrible fish dish!
