   First visit here and very impressed. We arrived 15 minutes early for our booking and it was not a problem and got seated straight away. Staff were very patient with us as we did not know what to have and was not a problem to give us more time. Food was delicious and will definitely be back.

   Food was tasty but i felt expensive for what we got. Dreadful service. Had to ask for coffees and our bill multiple times. They eventually arrived cold and were removed from our bill. Nice venue inside but wont return

   The menu has changed and unfortunately for us we preferred the previous as a few of our favourite dishes were missing . Quality still good and service excellent and friendly

   Booked for the Sunday Rodizio BBQ menu. The staff were nice enough but didn't really feel like they were that attentive, at times we felt as if we were struggling for space on our table and when they cleared the glasses away they didn't offer more drinks. The staff were quite young and inexperienced, didn't really know how to properly carve the meat (one of them swearing as meat slipped off their skewer) and at one point a waiter plopped a big portion of just lamb fat on my plate. Staff didn't seem knowledgeable on what the meat was or even what meat was going to be coming next. We didn't even see the whole menu as there seemed to just be rounds and rounds of the Brazilian sausage. The meat was tasty. Before leaving we visited the toilet and there was zero toilet rolls in the WC. Took my friend for his birthday and felt like it was very disappointing.

   What a fantastic experience from the minute we walked through the door. The staff were friendly and attentive, the restaurant was beautiful inside and the food was absolutely delicious. We had the set menu for 2 and it was great value for money. So good I’m going back for lunch later in the week! Highly recommend.

   Very fatty meat, the prawns didn’t taste fresh and overall a bit disappointing.

    Overall nice experience, however portion size for food was smaller than expected for the price. My friend ordered the tacos and was only given one rather than the 2 which was expected. After dinner, our table wasn't cleared, despite the table next to us being cleared (and they had ordered their meal after us too, sonthey were in and out whilst we were still waiting...) We ended up just walking up to the bar to pay as we couldn't get hold of any staff.
