   Service was terrible. I couldn't order another drink if my life depended upon it. My $17 martini was served in a plastic cup. We had to beg someone for silverware to eat our cold food. Absolutely terrible experience. The chicken tikka masala was disgusting. Avoid people avoid.

   Chicken tikka masala was delicious. I’m from the UK and can say it tasted pretty authentic. Service wasn’t the most attentive but that was fine for me and my guest.

   Ordered the chicken pot pie……scrumptious! Ordered the 1,000 layer potatoes….nit so much. Dining companion heard the steak and frites…… and loved them! The service was extremely slow, but I think that was a result of their appearing to only be one or two weight staff for the entire dining room.  Manager did step up and assist with getting our dessert order placed.

   Overall, it was fine. I had the Sunday Roast. My prime rib was cooked perfectly, the potatoes were overcooked, and the carrots were partially burnt. The sticky toffee pudding was pretty good, but nothing to write home about. I'd would go back, but I'd likely try something off the regular menu.

   I live in area and can’t be happier with this new restaurant! We had fish & chips and it was outstanding. Our server was great and atmosphere was so pleasant. I don’t normally do these feedback things, but I was pleasantly impressed. So thumbs up for sure

   We visited the restaurant for Sunday brunch. The service and attention to the customers was outstanding and so was the food.

    We were in a rush and they accommodated us, but also explain that certain things couldn’t be done quickly. Everything was brought out in a timely order and everything was excellent. The service, the food, the care and kindness were all outstanding. My time with my daughters at your restaurant was phenomenal. Thank you.
