   After reading positive reviews we were excited to visit . Nothing amazing Wagu beef burger was nice it came with straw fry’s that were no better than McDonald’s and just warm . Must say the waiter was very polite and helpful.

   I booked the chefs tasting experience only to arrive and be told it was no longer offered. Very dissatisfied.

   "I love the relaxed feel of this place. I definitely would return. The Fish was amazing and the Wagyu Flank perfectly cooked and of ample portion. Service was well-timed and friendly.

   Waiter staffwere very good, especially the guy who serviced us. Menu reasonably extensive as was the wine list. Wines were expensive but the meals were reasonable. First time we have eaten there and will go back. Overall we had a very good experience.

   Ate the five course valentines dinner. Food was okay but serving sizes were small for what you pay for. The seafood wasn't that fresh; but acceptable. The main issue was that there was a long 20-30min wait between each course and they forgot to serve us the fourth course. They didnt realise this until we complained after they tried to pack up our plates. Multiple drink refills occurred during this 1hr+ wait but none of the staff who attended to our table realised we were still waiting for food. We didn't receive an apology until we brought it up whilst paying to a very surprised manager. The apology received sounded non genuine and spoken without thought.

   It’s was a lovely experience. Could do better if more serving staff were in attendance. Have to keep asking to top up water. It was a share plate , so serving spoon should be provided with each dish.

   We sat inside the restaurant near the sliding door. It’s the 3rd time we have eaten here over the festive season. The seating was perfect. The food was lovely and of a very high standard. Starters included scallops, prawns and sashimi. Beautifully presented. Salads and vegetables were all lovely and the turkey and beef perfection. We had a wonderful family Christmas lunch and will continue to visit especially at Christmas time.

   Booked for 21/12 as a Christmas treat for my wife. Even confirmed it over the phone two days before with a member of staff. When we got there it was closed, and no-one on reception knew about booking or why we'd been booked for a day when not open. Won't try again.
