   As usual the team members were friendly, but busy busy. The service seemed a little slower than usual, not sure whether it was because we’d opted for the set menu, and open menu diners were being prioritised??? We had to ask for our glass of Prosecco (included in the £29 deal) when we were approached for a drinks. We were asked to order all three courses at the start of the meal which I thought was unusual, maybe again because we were ordering the set menu, somehow didn’t feel right. Generally the food was a great standard. One of our party being a vegan diner commented on how refreshing the menu was, even the choices available on the set menu, then after the meal how nice the food was. One diner of the party ordered the sirloin steak main course, the meat was not particularly tender and was found to be more gristly than would usually be expected, and in fairness to the restaurant, the £6 supplement for this option was deducted. Would definitely visit again, but with different choices.

   Lovely lively atmosphere and great service from the Albanian waitress (sorry didn’t catch her name). Great venue for the theatre.

    The day was admittedly a very busy one and staff under pressure however as returning customers my party of three was disappointed with the table allocation which was immediately in front of the disabled toilet door and a service counter,with much toing and froing around us to those places.It was not comfortable. Also the reverberating deafening din of cacophanous music being played all but drowned any form of meaningful table conversation for us.We had to shout to each other,as indeed were other customers at other tables. This was a festive time of year and a social meeting of friends,but was marred by these considerations.The food was good enough but we felt that the pressures of service in an appreciable way and in these circumstances lessened its enjoyment compared with a previous visit's standard.
