Reviews
The food quality and taste was great. So was the decor and ambience. Prices are at the premium end. Service is great. The only negative I would say is that the restaurant attracts quite a young and rowdy crowd, not entirely suitable or comfortable for families.
I came for my birthday meal and was well looked after! The decor is beautiful and the food was to match! Gorgeous mocktails! The staff were all very pleasant and welcoming including the manager who was very attentive. I will most definitely return!
10/10. The food was absolutely lovely. The lamb shank was cooked to perfection and the steak was so flavourful. Ryhans service was excellent start to finish and made the experience very enjoyable.
Saw good reviews for this place online and had high expectations considering it's a bit pricey. Booked online a few days prior and could only select a table for two people as a minimum, sent an email asking if it was okay that just one person will be attending as it was quite late and near closing time. Didn't hear back the next day so phoned up, very hard to hear on the phone and the person didn't seem to understand what I was asking so they just booked another table for me. Entrance to the actual restaurant wasn't very clear as you have to go into the car park and there is a little booking desk downstairs at the entrance, also unclear if you needed to wait there or if you could just go straight upstairs to be seated, luckily there were two women who were sat downstairs and said you could just go on upstairs. Confirmed my booking for one person with the waiter at the bar who told me to take a seat in the waiting area. Waited for over 15 minutes, ignored by the staff who all looked over at me when walking past but no one thought to approach me. There were clearly plenty of tables available and it wasn't too busy on a Sunday evening either. Eventually a waitress asks me what I'm waiting for here and if I'm waiting for someone, not sure where the waiter at the bar disappeared to but it was clearly not communicated with the rest of the staff that I had a booking for one person and was waiting to be seated. Was expecting an apology at the very least but nothing. Not a very good start but was hoping the food would make up for it. Shortly after being seated, my waitress Robin took my order and the food came pretty quickly, about 10 mins or less. Ordered the Beef Ribs with mash. Although it says Beef RibS with an 'S' on the menu but there was only one on the plate Very large portion and presentation was good but average taste and so a bit overpriced in my opinion. Also ordered a Passion Fruit Mojito which was nice. Toilets were clean and I thought the taps were a cool design. The decor and atmosphere was lovely but I don't think I would come here again which is a shame as I was really looking forward to dining here and wanted to enjoy it but unfortunately my initial experience when I entered and the average food was a downer.
Food was lovely apart from the mash, I just wasn’t a fan. Fairly priced considering the taste The service wasn’t great, staff were polite but we waited 30 mins to get our dessert and ended up cancelling it. It wasn’t until we then that the dessert came. The main came out fairly quickly. I would go again, hopefully have a better experience
