Was recommended this restaurant on open table and decided to book - great decision as we had an amazing meal, staff were really friendly and the dining area was nicely presented with tables not too closely packed together like some places! Highly recommended.

The restaurant was dated. The Bloody Mary was good tho but we had to wait a while for the drinks. The waitress did not know the menu, but was friendly. The burger was cremated and had to be sent back. The one that came back was not much better. We had a different on at the end of the meal. When I was asked how the food was and said it wasn’t great it was not acknowledged by her.

Slightly off the beaten path, we found Element. Sunday roast was served very quickly and at a reasonable price. The service was great and very attentive. Always someone checking to see if we needed anything.
