    sides and starters could use a price reduction or a little bit bigger compared to the mains, the size and price is really good. both were very good taste wise i must admit. Mains could offer some more presentation which the starters and cocktails excelled in. The deserts were the biggest let down of the night. Taste average could get better from M&S, was not a sizeable portion at all. presentation lacked. Ambience was good. Lovely restaurant inside and good location. Seats were comfortable although our table was a bit wide for a 2 seater and i felt far from my food and partner sat across. Was quite busy for a tuesday evening so we didn’t get the best seats in the house but that isn’t the restaurants fault. I am however autistic and do suffer from sensitivity to loud noises. Lots of birthday presentations going on and random dancing and clapping but it was funny and didn’t ruin my night. Just something to note if you suffer similar problems and want to go here or were looking for a quiet dinner. A few waiters were clumsy and dropped things which were loud and startled me quite some. Overall total was £150 with service we ordered Chicken Tacos 10/10 Mac and cheese balls 7.5/10 Smash Burger and Truffle Fries 8/10 Philly Steak 9/10 Appletiser Long Island 8/10 Dragonfruit Cocktail 7/10 (was too minty) Kiwi Sour 10/10

    Really great food and service, but we ended up stuck in a corner, very little atmosphere. Always seems to be a problem with restaurants being part of a hotel complex

    I made a reservation here for a post-theatre dinner. However, when I arrived, the kitchen had closed! It would have been helpful if the restaurant made it clear that their kitchen closes well before the restaurant itself (9:30, apparently). That said, the two drinks I ordered were delicious and the staff members were kind and unobtrusive.
