    Had a great meal here just before a gig at the Castlefiled Bowl. Great location! We'd booked a table inside but were happily accommodated in a booth outside in the sunshine. We were really impressed with the food - bread, hummus, padron peppers, tofu nourish bowl and lobster ravioli. Wine was good too. Really good value for a city centre venue. The only really I haven't given five stars across the board was because it took a bit too long to get the bill, then after waiting, we had to ask to pay as we wanted to get to the gig. The place was busy though, so can be forgiven for that! A really lovely place; great food and good value.

    We had the Sunday dinner platter which was lovely. My only criticism is that when I made the booking it asks if it’s a special occasion and if you have any requests. It was our 6th wedding anniversary, and we actually had our wedding reception here so I mentioned that. Nothing was said or done about it, it wasn’t even mentioned at the meal so I just think why are you asking this and then just ignoring it? I mean I was t expecting a freebie or anything but if you are asking the question then you could at least acknowledge the answer?

    The service was fantastic (our waitress was excellent) but when her shift finished the service went downhill however there was only a couple of waitresses on so the may have been short staffed

    Had a lovely girlie lunch, busy but good standards maintained. Sea bass was well cooked, not keen on the “cooked “ olives though. Mini brownie were lovely but really needed a little icecream/cream to make it easier to eat them, bit laggy without. Two minor points, that didn’t spoil our experience, and well done to Alaska who looked after us 😊
