Booked this few weeks back, on arrival the restaurant was quite busy, were told to ' go sit on that table ' there was no sanitiser on our table. As quick as we sat down we were pressured for drink choices, friend asked for gin menu this was not available, also menu was very basic and not much choice from the online menu, very disappointing! Also we weren't asked once how our meals were... order was wrong, steak in ciabatta was full of fat and gristle, did complain was told it was the butchers cut.... and would tell the chef.... nothing mentioned... no reduction even though i only ate half a ciabatta with steak in. Also had to shout... excuse me to order another drink.. waited 10 minutes for a glass of wine. Just such a disappointing meal out. Will not be returning sadly.

Went today for my first boozy brunch. Excellent, so fast with the cocktails, I managed 8 in 2 hours. Mimosa served upon arrival, and lovely warm brioche. We chose the pancakes and the breakfast burrito, both where lovely. Can't wait for my next visit.

+ Great burgers, good selection of dishes on the menu. Plenty of COVID precautions in place.

- Could do with a door slower/closer as every time someone came in or out of the main front door it slammed and the glass panelling by our table rattled.

Second time i have been here, the first during Covid. The main issue was the 1 particular waiter who did not have his mask on properly at all during my lunchtime visit. It was over his mouth and not his nose, how could the manager have failed to notice this i have no idea but he seated me, gave me my menu and my drinks all without his mask being on correctly. I was very close to informing him of this but didn't feel it was my place. If the manager would like a description of him please get in tough directly. Besides that my starter arrived before my drink, the "classic" cocktail i had was no way classic. Since when has a pornstar martini had butterscotch schnapps and egg white in it? It was overly sweet and not very nice. Should be Passoa, vanilla vodka and prosecco, with a bit of lime.
Food was ok but nothing to rave about.
