"We have eaten here multiple times, and in all likelihood would do again. The food is always great. The steaks are cooked as requested, and we always come away saying how much we enjoyed it. However, last night we were massively let down by the service at the end. We had booked a table for later in the evening, and by 8:30/8:45 we were the only table left in the restaurant. We had ordered a round of drinks when we arrived, and with our main meal we ordered a bottle of wine. By the time we finished our main meal, we still had 3/4 of the bottle of wine, and it was just coming up to about 9pm. We thought that we could have a nice, relaxing time enjoying our wine as at no point had we asked that our starter and main all be served and completed by 9. We were asked if we wanted desert, which we declined and got on with talking and enjoying the wine. At about 9:10 we were presented with the bill, whilst we still had half a bottle of wine along with the comment of no rush . If only this was true. Within 5 minutes the staff member was there asking if I was ready to pay. I told them no and that I would pay once we had finished our wine. Fast forward another 15-20 minutes and again they were back with the card machine asking if we were ready to pay. By this stage, I had had enough (we still had wine in the bottle) and paid the bill. We finished our wine and left. I do appreciate that staff would like to get home, especially if there is only 1 table in the restaurant. If that is the case, don 't take late bookings and then try and force people out, after only an hour. What would have been a lovely evening, was ruined by this behavior."

"This was our first experience eating in a few weeks ago and I couldn’t feel more uncomfortable when we entered. A very rude and disrespectful woman, short blondish hair), she looked like the owner. She looked at me up and down and failed to say hello- a look of why we were there. When I told her I had a reservation- she was stunned and was very dismissive and after I said we made a reservation she was rather perplexed. We were sat to the table and given one menu to start with. they had a large group dining too- so took up all the menus). There was a nice gentleman who I believe took our booking who was friendly- that’s your lot! Upon ordering, I had forgotten to order a small portion of egg fried rice and when I asked to place an order, the waitress who took our order snapped and said it will take a “long time”. It was for my 3 year old- rice is a staple dish, which does not involve extensive cooking also pre cooked) I found this pretty unreasonable, how could you deny a child food- they didn’t want us there. The food in general was good- however the staff and ambience was abysmal. As an owner, you should be welcoming and friendly- the woman who greeted us- was far from this. She did not want our business as she was seen to pander to the large group of customers she had in the restaurant. A real shame, given this could have been our new local. Note the owner: don’t dismiss people who are coming to your restaurant, we are the people who keep your restaurant going. I would really score this no stars for service or ambience.
