    Wonderful welcome from staff, after a couple of phone calls throughout the week making sure we were happy with our outdoor reservation due to the weather reports, option to change to indoor table etc, but we stuck with the outdoor reservation and so happy we did, such a lovely evening, food was outstanding, table and service absolutely spot on! Will definitely be back , thank you for a lovely evening! Restaurant is beautifully decorated and presented. Well done all at Medusa!

    Couldn't fault it, a very good start for a new business and hopefully it continues. Good service, good portion size of food and equally good quality and beautiful decor. Will definitely be returning.

    I booked a table as a treat for my partner and was not disappointed. The restaurant has a great vibe along with lovely staff who were friendly and interacted with us. They couldn’t do enough for us and highly recommend to anyone to go and check this place out. We are going back again in a weeks time for our daughters birthday which I am looking forward to. Great value and at a reasonable price. We had the Steak, I had the ribeye and my partner had the fillet both were good quality steak and tasted amazing, medium rare cooked to perfection. The menu offers a great variety of meals to cater for everyone. I am looking forward to trying out a different dish when we go back and to also try their amazing selection of cocktails. This restaurant deserves the 5 star I have rated And thank you Alex for coffee See you all again soon
