    Group of 8. We had a reservation and we were seated right away. Food was good and drinks were delicious. Service was ok but a little slow, but we were not in a hurry. Fun place to visit.

    Table not ready when we arrived at booking time. Had to ask twice if it was ready yet as we were hungry. Service at table was just average.

    Amazing food and amazing staff. From the second we were greeted at the door we received the best experience. When booking I put in that it was our anniversary, and they gave us two glasses of Prosecco to celebrate! It was so thoughtful and really made our night. The food is delicious and we both recommend the Oreo cheesecake it’s to die for. There is good music playing and the decor is great too, lots to admire. Staff are extremely attentive and made us feel so welcome. We’ll definitely be back. Thank you Thunderroad!!

    Brought my kids here for a preshow treat. Waited almost 50 minutes for our food. When it arrived the portion size was tiny. I ordered steak fajitas and there was a huge bed of peppers and onions and upon it sat about six slices of steak about the size of my baby finger. Really really disappointing for the price we paid. The kids loved the atmosphere but really I wouldn't return.

    This was our third time visiting and I can say we won’t be back again. The food was very poor, dry burnt chicken, soggy wet pulled pork, freezing cold steak. We didn’t order desert as we were so disappointed with the food we left. Food served to 5 people at different times so service was also disappointing.

    No steak left on Sunday of a bank holiday weekend - that’s pretty poor management to be fair , after getting over that everything else was good.
