   Fantastic place. My wife uses an electric wheelchair and this place was accessible. Sloped ramp access and the manager placed us at a large spacious table. There is an accessible loo which is a big plus and was big enough. We had the sharer for 2 and it was amazing. So much food we had to bring some home. We were given 2 free shots as they knew we were celebrating our wedding anniversary. We went on a Wednesday evening and the ambience was great. I look forward to returning

   Restaurant was busy and we were greeted by staff on arrival. Ambience was nice and we could talk easily. Wine was lovely and the other the other 3 guests with me enjoyed their steaks but my sirloin was hard at both ends and very tough, although cooked medium rare.

   Sadly we walked out without eating so cannot comment on the food. We booked a table for four on Saturday evening. After waiting at the door for someone to greet us we approached the bar and spoke to an guy who checked our reservation and showed us to a table for 4 which looked as if it had seen better days and not what you would expect in a newly opened venue. The table was squeezed between two others and was so tight you couldn't pull the chairs out to sit down. We were then offered a round table at the back of the restaurant barely big enough for 2 let alone the 4 of us. The whole feel is it's a very noisy crammed place that wants to be a quality restaurant but is also trying to compete with the many well established bars in the same street. It needs to decide if it's a bar serving food or a restaurant serving drinks. Needless to say we won't be going back.

   Almost impossible to contact by phone for a large group and a visit didn’t translate into a fully correct booking without a subsequent call. No kids menu. Service was slow, despite being the only table to start and only two more small tables later. Circa 1 hour to get a steak that takes 10 min to cook is not good. Top end prices, good food just exceptionally slow food delivery. Staff friendly and ambience great. If they can match the top end prices with top end service they’ll be great.

   Steaks were good and no issues....but it is expensive. 2 steaks, couple of sides, bottle of wine....and that's £150 gone. too much for lunch. Can't see how the business model is sustainable in Haywards Heath.

   Bit pricey for what we had. Slightly disappointed with our fillet steaks. Expected more for the price.

   Can't fault the steaks - very tender. Good bottle of wine. Sat with our empty starter plates for a long time, then were taken away and replaced immediately with the main courses. Check about the Chimchurri sauces before you order. Says on the menu it is included along with a side but it isn't, only a taster is included, but this isn't made clear. Sides very expensive if you want extras £7 and go! Also the wine is automatically served standard as a large glass unless you order a bottle. 2 Large glasses of wine £20 a bottle £28. No offer of desserts or coffee Disappointed in the service and the bill!

    8.30pm booking and felt very rushed - kitchen closed at 9pm apparently! All very odd, on what was quite a quiet evening.
