Service is friendly and welcoming, though a bit slow at times — especially when waiting for drinks or trying to get a server’s attention. Nothing major, just slightly impacts the flow of the evening.
Food is usually strong here, but this visit was a bit hit and miss. Starters let us down — the popcorn chicken was overcooked and mostly tiny, overly battered pieces. Squid didn’t taste very fresh and both starters arrived lukewarm. On the other hand, the tuna sashimi was fresh and well-portioned, and the crab & yuzu tacos were packed full of crab and seriously good value.
Mains were excellent. We had two fillet steaks with chips, mac & cheese and peppercorn sauce. Steaks were perfectly cooked and much better than what you’d get at Miller & Carter. The sauce was bold and delicious, and the mac & cheese had great flavour and a solid cheese pull — rich but nicely portioned.
Would definitely return, but hoping for more consistency next time — especially with the starters and speed of service. Still a great spot for a stylish night out and quality mains.
