The music was so loud that we left after dinner as we couldn’t hear each other speak. After dinner no one came over to clear the table or to offer us drinks, I had to go up to the bar to order drinks myself. After the drinks arrived the empty plates were still not cleared.

Bar staff were sooo good, attention to our food, followed up on the steak which was v.toufg/dry and changed it without problems immediately. Really understanding and wanted us to enjoy our night. Highly recommend the staff as assets to the team. Not too noisy on the top floor, great access to clean lovely toilets. So chilled after a bit of shoping on a sat evening. Great job guys thank you 👌🏼👌🏼

Poor service, incredibly sparse and painfully slow when we eventually were able to order a drink. Food was mediocre, foccacio was the saving grace - other plate was totally bland.

The food was brilliant, even as someone who generally isn't very adventurous with food. The staff were lovely and went out of their way to make a good experience.
