    I booked this restaurant for a vibrant experience no doubt, but did not expect it to hit the extremes it did. There were 2 groups either side of us, no word of a lie, screaming songs at the top of their lungs and shout talking at each other. This was a 5:30PM reservation on valentines day, so I was left with embarrassment when trying to have a nice evening over all of that screaming. Not one staff member that walked past asked them to just be a bit self aware. It was as if the louder the better becusse they're more likely to stay and buy more drinks. It's a fine restaurant if you want to get drunk and be crazy but terrible if you're anyone else.

    Booked what I thought was 'Bottomless brunch' but turned out it wasn't, however, staff were kind enough to sort it and our party of 6 enjoyed a great afternoon of food and cocktails. Service was great, quick and very pleasant. Would highly recommend for atmosphere and service. Thank-you

    It was impossible to eat here! We booked a table thinking it was a restaurant but it's more of a nightclub! No one else was eating there and to be honest they shouldn't take bookings at this time. We had to leave and try to find something else.

    Great location and design but no guests. It was a cold night and sadly the heating did not appear to be on, that’s probably due to the fact there was a belief that the venue would remain empty for the remainder of the evening.
