    Wanted a different experience from the traditional afternoon tea and that’s what we got. Staff were welcoming, friendly and attentive. Our glasses were topped up, our photos were taken and the savoury items were delicious. The cheese and salami mini roll was my least favourite but the pulled pork and the prawn taco were the best. The Prosecco was very nice too! Loved the music playing and the decor. The DeLorean in the lobby made my friend happy. The seating is a big open space just past the hotel lobby so you may need a jumper. Overall good value on Groupon.

    Food was really great, ambiance was amazing but the service was too slow. We know it was busy but took us to have our order 45mins to be asked for it. Dessert was given an hour after main course.

    Great venue and atmosphere, lovely surroundings spacious and airy. Fantastic entertainment however service shocking sadly. First drink took about 35 mins to arrive but my daughter who asked for a milk shake was waiting probably 45 mins but then it came wrong with our dinner and then was corrected twice! . Food was cold and no problem changing it however after receiving our dinner no one approached us for the evening. Table was not cleared, no desert offered and I went to the bar to get my own drinkand we were there for over 3 hours. Everyone seemed manically busy yet nothing seemed to be getting done seemed to be very disorganised with tables near us experiencing similar issues I would go back for the atmosphere but with low expectations on the eating experience as a hole. Small changes could vastly improve the customer service, ie someone taking charge as opposed to a lovely manager who was herself overwhelmed when she should have the freedom to delegate and oversea things.

    Food lovely and arrived relatively fast, however service overall was disappointing. No one asked how food was, asked if we needed any condiments and overlooked the need for more cutlery and glasses on the table.

    The reviews for this restaurant are not accurate. We arrived early for our 1:30 reservation and noticed an open booth. We asked to be seated there but were refused, as the host said it was reserved for a 2:00 party. Instead, we were seated at a table just inches from the wait/bus station, with only a partial view of the stage. It took over 25 minutes before our order was even taken. The fried cauliflower appetizer was burnt, the corn ribs were inedible and heavily coated in some kind of oil, and my “crispy skin chicken” arrived skinless and dry. When we left at 2:30, the booth we had originally requested was still empty.

    My firiend and I were having an early celebration for our joint birthday next week. We both had different dishes; both were lovely and I would go as far as to say the best cheesecake I've every had!
