   I love this restaurant and dine here often. The food was amazing as always but I would like to see some new dishes on the menu because it is getting to the stage that we eat the same things every time and it would be nice to try something new

   Where to start! Drinks took a good 25 mins to arrive. We had discussed leaving and going somewhere else but didn’t want to be awkward. When the drinks arrived the cocktail was average and the whisky was the dregs of the bottle, tasted awful and nothing like jamesons, also seemed to be about half a measure. Food turned up and christ it was awful! We ordered crispy chilli sea bass, crispy shredded sticky beef, bfc sliders and mini mac sliders. Sea bass was slimy, The sticky beef was fatty, one of the chicken sliders was grey and the mini mac sliders were tasteless. We complained about the food as we barely touched anything and it was taken away and when the bill arrived they had charged us for all the food…90% of it was uneaten! So we stayed at our table for about half an hour to finish our bottle of Prosecco (no one came over to apologise or ask what our issue was) before going up to the bar to discuss the bill to be met by the ‘owner/chef’ and told that it’s basically tough s**t and it must be our pallets because no one else complained! He was completely incapable of taking on board any criticism, it was bizarre, his attitude was appalling and he flat out refused to knock anything off the bill and just walked off in to the kitchen and left us to pay the bill with one of the members of staff. £93 for what was some of the worst food and easily the worst dining experience we have ever experienced. Safe to say it’s left and even more sour taste in my mouth than the food itself.

   I would like to start off by saying that the welcome was lovely. staff had smiles on their faces. The food was appalling, and the price was even worse! I ordered a Gin fizz cocktail 🍸 when it arrived, and there wasn't much if any alcohol in it at all. The menu states Processco.... I can assure you there was no processco within that drink. The food was shocking. we had order hoisen duck Bao buns. The meat inside looked like it had been microwaved from a packet of supermarket sliced meat. My children ordered chicken tenders, which were not rateable. My daughter had a burger, which within 2 bites had eaten. The portions sizes were shocking. When we went to pay, the lady behind the bar joked about the fact that my children had eaten McDonalds burgers 🍔 - I'd just like to say that McDonalds would have been the better option! I couldn't wait to get out and go elsewhere. I booked this meal as part of my 10th wedding anniversary for my husband as a treat. It was the worst £76 pound I've ever spent.

   The place is lovely and the staff are so nice, the food looked good when it came to the table but was a let down, the crispy sticky chilli beef wasn’t crispy or sticky.. it was chewy and dry. The brisket in the boa buns was nice but to dry, the chicken sliders were so bland, the chicken was bland but the sauce was spicy.. chicken needed actually flavour. The salt and chilli chips were also a let down, few chilli’s and spring onions on top and barely any of the seasoning

   Lovely restaurant in Kirkby lonsdale serving a large range of modern style dishes. The restaurant is beautifully decorated inside & out. We had the most gorgeous lunchtime weather when we visited so were able to sit outside. We loved the green plant walls & ceilings that style both the inside & out. The restaurant was very full & still service was good & efficient.
