    What a poor experience. Firstly ..I tried to ring this restaurant to make a reservation for lunch..no one answered so I left a voicemail…they didn’t return my call So I made a reservation with opentable I arrived at the restaurant to be told that they were having some issues and were not open I was pointed in the direction of another restaurant Just after this happened I recieved a voicemail from the bookings office of this group of restaurants to say they were having issues with the sale of alcohol but were still open serving food and that I could continue to have lunch or they could facilitate me in another of their restaurants. I rang them back to tell them we were sent away and I was now in another restaurant I was apologised to at each stage ..and offered a voucher..which hasn’t come .. but really the whole thing it was a very very poor experience . I simply couldn’t be bothered!

    The experience was lovely! Staff were quick and friendly. Food was amazing. I didn’t like the fact that they charged the tips on the final bill. But overall, I will come back in the future.
