   Food was great but the service could be improved. The restaurant was practically empty but the waitress walked off before I had finished my order! I then had to get her attention several times throughout our visit as she wasn’t looking to see if we needed anything - just face straight ahead. It’s a bit of a shame as the food is really nice - the first time I had lunch with my wife we spent around 115 pounds, and for that sort of money I expect the staff to be attentive. Hopefully these are just teething issues as it’s a great addition to the Ely food scene.

   Roxy and the team gave very good service and the wait for food was very minimal. Food was excellent. The only reason they get a reduced score is that we didn't get any water but the staff were distracted by a customer being quite irritating about how his food was cooked, it looked ok to me. We also had a knife that wasn't sharp enough to cut steak. Will definitely go back. We both had the ribeye and couldn't fault it. The beer was also very good.

   Lovely flat iron steak. Lovely cauliflower. Lovely chips. Just one dessert though. And not much wine to choose from

   Food was nice but walking through the bar to get to the bathroom surrounded by staff was a bit odd. Sauces and sides were expensive. Atmosphere was ok - when a strange guy was staring through the window watching us all and making us feel a bit uncomfortable so was a bit off putting. Staff moved him in after locking the door. Was an ok meal but for the pricing expected a little better.

   Simple ingredients were not available and condiments were not available as they had run out( all of which could have been purchased locally) Staff were embarrassed

   Came across this restaurant on Facebook and thought we would try it for my birthday. Great food, excellent service. Would highly recommend it and will definitely be back.

   Both me and my friend had the fillet steak. They were delicious and both of us said about coming back for the tomahawk steak. Service was great, got seated quickly with nice friendly staff.

   We really enjoyed our Saturday evening meal at Griddle Bar and Meat house and will definitely be coming back. We sat downstairs and the atmosphere was really good. We had booked but when we arrived our table wasn’t ready, we came back 20 mins later having gone for a drink. We ordered the red wine but would have liked a bit more choice of wines. We had the chateaubriand which was cooked really well, chips were tasty and salad a nice side. I think this place is close to 5 stars all round, the team are new and need a bit of time to come together, organise themselves a little better and to anticipate what the tables need (we had to asked for cutlery and plates and needed to ask for condiments). Small things that can easily be improved on. This is exactly the type of restaurant that Ely needs; good quality food, cooked well and local. We’ll be back!

    Staff were helpful and informative, food was cooked nicely and tasty. My only criticism would be the cost of some of the sides, I thought £4 for a very small pot of coleslaw and £3 for an even smaller pot of sauce was a little excessive. Saying that I would still recommend the restaurant if asked
