    Four of us dined at Rooftop Gardens last night. The staff were friendly and welcoming. Our starters were very good and we enjoyed them. We then waited about 25mins for our main courses. My chicken was very tough and not nice to eat. My chips were luke warm and stale. The burger similarly was hard and dry. Chips stale. Pork belly main was also tough. We enjoyed our deserts. The quality of food overall was poor. This was very disappointing.

    Vibes were lovely but the service was poor! The waiter was too busy trying to flirt and wouldn’t listen to our order and came back with drinks we didn’t order. Wouldn’t listen when he said we are all having burgers when we had vegetarians in the group. Walked away to serve someone else halfway through our food order and then refused to come back to us, multiple times we had to go up to the bar to order drinks even though we were on a bottomless brunch. Maybe the waiter should stop trying to make himself look good and actually listen to the customers.

    Lovely staff, attentive, quick. Food was very tasty, although could have done with a bit more on the plate.

    We went to a Christmas party night priced at £45 for welcome drink, 3 courses and DJ party. No welcome drink, our table wasn’t ready so told to go to bar, couldn’t get a drink at bar as no one seemed to be serving. Eventually after quite a wait we went to table, food came out slightly warm. Starter very small, pumpkin soup (more like baby food) had very strange taste. Main course arrived, again only slightly warm and very sparse on the plate. Pork very fatty and like rubber. Who knows what the veggie option was but it was very small and resembled something my dog has produced, and couldn’t actually tell what it was when eating it. Dessert arrived and guess what, it was very small. We had to ask for our welcome drink, no one forthcoming with it. Service was ok at the table, although trying to pull wool over our eyes to buy expensive (and well over priced wine), we had to be on the ball. DJ ok, but music not great and little atmosphere, disappointing.

    Had great service from Ed, who dealt with our drinks and our food. The ambience in the restaurant itself was lovely and mellow. The food was amazing and the price was exactly what you’d expect. Will definitely be back

    Been here for dinner a few times now, always impressed with the friendly and welcoming service. The food is amazing and well presented. The atmosphere is very nice and relaxing. The roast dinner is definitely something to try. Well worth the visit!
