    A relatively good experience with a couple of minor issues. We were not seated at the time of our 8pm booking and had to wait in the bar area for the table to be ready. There was a delay in taking our order and it took too long for the starters to arrive. The main course arrived when the starter plates hadn’t been cleared which was disappointing! I also reported a broken lock to a toilet cubicle only for the cleaning attendant to blatantly ignore me. This was latee escalated to reception who acted upon the concern and the door was fixed within the hour. Overall it the night was a good experience but could be even better if there were not the small issues we experienced.

    We chose the pre theatre menu - great value - but sadly both courses were lukewarm. Really spoilt the whole menu experience. We did alert staff that the food was merely warm. The initial reaction was ‘ it should not be really, really hot’ !! He said he would feed it back but I don’t believe he did as we raised it again and a more senior member of staff came to the table . He was apologetic and gave us a complimentary glass of wine each . Food service very slow for pre theatre. For a hotel of this standing this really should not happen. 2 glasses of complimentary wine was a meagre gesture really but we were in a hurry to get the theatre.

    Arrived for pre-theatre lunch a bit early but were shown straight to a table. To be fair the restaurant was far from full. We were planning on having the pre-theatre set menu but this was not available. Apparently it has to be booked when making the reservation and is not offered for the matinee even though the play is in the same building!! This is not made clear on the website of the restaurant or Open Table. So we went a la carte and the food, though very pricey, was excellent. Fish and chips and the Yorkshire pudding with steak were delicious. We were celebrating my mum’s birthday and the staff brought out balloons and a cake for her. A lovely touch. Overall the staff were fantastic and earned an extra star for the review. So in summary it is a nice place with views over the river with great food but the price point is a bit steep.

    Very friendly staff and the food was amazing but it took longer than anticipated to come given that we ordered steaks. Had some difficulty figuring out the entrance using maps but all in all I would gladly book again, the service right from the main door even before we entered was very welcoming!

    Bar and cocktails were very good Restaurant let down by its kitchen - several items not available, steaks were served at wrong temperature and when sent back we were told after 10 minutes that it would be up to 25 minutes more before replacement ( a medium rare steak?) Service in restaurant was generally slow too

    Only part of the order was served initially then when the bill was brought and we refused to tip the waitress looked put out. This added to the fillet steak was really fatty and the Coke we ordered was flat. All in all it was not a very nice dining experience for quite an expensive meal!!!
