Great vibe, service and drinks. Greatly appreciated and recommended. No food, not an option, wasn’t expected or wanted just had to input and don’t want that to count against them.

I arrived and sat at the bar initially. I was told my table is being prepared. I was alone and the restaurant was more than half empty, yet I was made to wait 30 minutes before I prompted them to seat me. I felt this was poor. Once I sat at the table everything was fine but I was alone as I mentioned , had one cocktail while I was waiting (good ploy) and a carafe of wine but found it ridiculously expensive to be honest…£192.00 for one person.
