My partner and I went to the restaurant for a anniversary meal, we had read the reviews that the service was fairly rushed but we decided to go ahead and book in advance to hopefully prevent this. However when we arrived, the restaurant no awareness of our booking and rushed in with the walk ins. When booking I asked if it was possible to give us a fairly quiet table, we instead sat in the main floor which was still a lovely experience. Although when going to the bathroom realised that the floor below was so much quieter and would’ve much rather been sat away from the touristy up stairs. Despite this, we had a a very lovely meal and enjoyed our selfs but were extremely rushed so only had one drink each before they offered us the bill.
