A really nice and cozy restaurant. The interior design is magnificent (attached photos) and it is completely different from anything else. There option for food and drink. The food is really tasty. The staff is kindly and serve you quite fast. It's isn't so expensive considering that it's located on city's center and inside there is an impressive atmosphere.

Booked last month for a Festive Menu for 4 people, however, I was very disappointed to be told at 2pm that there was no turkey, or steak from that particular menu......it wasn't the end of the month, or the end of the day!! Thank goodness it wasn't the whole 40+ members of staff who turned up, or I'm guessing there would have been nothing left on the menu! The lady who looked after us was lovely though, food was tasty, and empty plates all round, although had to settle for my 3rd choice, and it wasnt festive at all. Cocktails were OK, but again, I've had better. Sadly, I don't think I would recommend this place, and don't think I will be back, after todays shambles.

The food was very tasty. Really good sized portions and also plenty to choose from on the menu. Atmosphere was fantastic, good music and a great vibe, a decent singer was on also. Will definitely be back again

Food was decent (not the best, but still nice), I got a scotch egg first and a meat skewer after. The place looks stunning with the bright glass roof. Service was excellent, very kind and attentive, and very quick. I’d totally recommend.

The food and drinks here were all lovely it was easy to order from the table and the service was quick. I came here with my partner because we have been to a few botanists, we always have a good experience the middle area above the bar was beautifully decorated. Only downside was it was a little loud near the bar for my preference however I am more sensitive to sounds so that may be something to keep in mind for certain people. Once sat further in it is no longer a problem, our server Abby was very nice helped with any questions about the food and my dietary restrictions
