Mmmmm, difficult one this as I've been there before and found the vibe really good for a night out as everyone is jolly and chatting away enjoying themselves. So decided to take the wife there for her birthday treat and it wasn't the same at all. A romantic meal that was at times dominated by the kitchen shouting when we were pretty much the only customers there, wasn't experiencing that before. The food was good but not for the prices we paid, felt like good pub food, nothing overly special. Dare I say it it felt nouveau riche when you're there during the daytime with all the lights on. Can't describe the difference between the feel of lunch and evening service, it's a bit like when you first went to a pub after they brought out the smoking ban and only then did you realise how the carpets stank of sticky booze (this establishment is extremely clean if you're wondering). I would recommended going if you've not eaten here before, it's just I came away thinking I've not eaten the level of food for the amount I paid. Hence all the other high ratings here are fully justified so don't be put off by my review, it's just the food and experience just didn't tickle or excite my senses. Left feeling underwhelmed.
