We love this place and come here often, but feel that since the other managers left - the service is now very very slow with drinks, but I guess the cocktails are so lovely and tasty it’s worth the wait. Would be nice to have options like crisps / nuts to go with the cocktails

It was a lovely atmosphere, staff were really friendly and service was good. Food was great! We particularly enjoyed the seafood platter and ordered a second one. Would highly recommend this place.

Looked for a nice little restaurant with a nice simple asctetic and good food for a birthday. As soon as we arrived it took 30 mins for us to be acknowledged (it was empty) the menu advertised was completely different. To be met with “we haven’t updated” decided to get drinks instead which took another 45 mins for a straight brandy. Would not recommend!

We went on a Friday night. Despite booking in advance we had a table right by the door - it was really cold so we asked to move. The food was good but the place was too busy/loud for our party. I would however try again midweek to see if it’s any better before writing it off.
