We have visited this restaurant on many occasions as the food is always good. Our latest visit was booked on line which was simple, the staff were very attentive throughout the visit. It was noted by my wife and myself that the size of the food portions was decidedly smaller than they used to be which is a real shame, its enough of an issue for us to go elsewhere in the future. As part of our order, we ordered garlic bread and extra fries, unfortunately they arrived at our table at least 10 minutes after our main course was served, at this point we really didn't want them. Great food though, disappointed about the meal size and part of the service.

Unfortunately Fajitas were not very warm. Skillet was hot but food wasn't! Could have done with more sour cream etc, as food was a little bland. Only being honest.

Visited on 28/2/26 with 5 other people. Food was really tasty and reasonably priced, we were served pretty quickly and it was a nice atmosphere. Good distance from the M & S arena too.

lovely atmosphere, friendly staff the food was lovely the only thing was the nachos starter was huge and far too much for 1 adult and a child maybe should offer a smaller portion or make it known it would feed 4 people as was loads of waste they tasted amazing tho.

We came hear on Friday to watch a concert Beautiful decor. We arrived over 20 minutes late due to our taxi They still allowed us to have the full 1 hour 30 Food was lovely, I asked if I could change my chicken to burger as id ordered the wrong thing ( my fault ) Changed without a problem, my burger came and it was slightly too pink for me ( just my own preference) Once again the food was changed without a problem. Every member of staff that served us was so nice and polite 10/10 for all, especially the staff
