    The engine room had closed on 21/7 and no one had contacted us …. In fact opentable asked us to confirm our attendance on 27/7 …. Despite the restaurant already having shut down

    Fabulous environment with indoor and outdoor seating and lots of attention to detail in the decor. Food was excellent in presentation and taste. Pizza was enormous and delicious. Plenty of choice for meat, fish and vegetarian eaters - no vegans in our party so not sure how it stacked up here, but there were vegan choices. Not a large menu but plenty to choose from and all 6 in our group (mixed vegetarian and meat eaters) enjoyed the meal. Service was excellent and restaurant appeared to be well staffed. We will return :)

    Had a delicious birthday lunch with my son. Must say service was slow - waited 20 minutes before we could even get a drink or nibbles. Rest of the meal and service was fine. Lovely building - no expense spared - nice patio dining area that has a reclining cover if too hot. Price was ok, but we went on a Friday so there was a set price lunch menu. My son gave his cocktail top marks, can't remember the name, tequila/chile vibe. The restaurant was quite busy and there was a good atmosphere.

    Excellent food and service with very pleasant staff. Why not 5* then? Because the noise-level was occasionally high but mainly because the decor was frankly depressing. No attempt has been made to soften the surroundings which are bare and basic even for an "Engine Room". A few plants? Some colourful murals? It's a pity and lets down both the excellent food and the pleasant staff. Is there another restaurant of this calibre with such grotty decor, I wonder?
