   Friendly staff and interestingly curated interior, but food is very overpriced. £16 for a very average vegan burger and chips (incidentally an extra £1 for chunky chips) and a few leaves and seeds. Chicken escalope for £18 was ok but not really worth the price. Overall, nice staff and an interior but very poor value for food.

   The experience could have been spoilt as an error was made with one of the meals we’d ordered however it was rectified immediately as it had been realised before it left the kitchen. The waitress explained what had happened, there was not too much of a wait before the correct meal was served. Quite soon after the waitress returned to the table checked all was ok and said the cost of that particular meal would be taken from the bill. Service was excellent. All staff a credit to the business. Thank u for starting our evening off to a lovely start!

   Our table was being used by someone when we arrived, but they were moved and it was ready straight away. Service was great, our waitress was very friendly and helpful. Food was nice, too many chips, we would've shared if we knew the portion size, but can't complain for the price. It was very busy, but that was to be expected on a Saturday night. However, we weren't rushed to make way for others. It was slightly disappointing to hear it was restaurant week, but the deals weren't available between 5-7 pm, so we couldn't have the menu we'd seen advertised. Overall, we had a good experience and would return again.

   Great location especially if you’re heading to the Sunderland Empire. Service was highly professional and friendly. Energetic vibe in fun surroundings.

    Food over priced. Steak over cooked, served with lettuce leaves and a portion of chips. Duck 'Shepherds pie ' although a large amount of Duck was covered with mashed potato and an overwhelming amount of cheese served with a portion of peas in a 'broth '. I felt sorry for the servers having to negotiate an extremely busy bar.
