Our first time here and we were not disappointed! Amazing food with delicious flavours and excellent service. We can’t wait to return to try more dishes.

The 3 stars are for staff friendliness as they are lovely but we recieved most of our food 2 hours after ordering so at 10pm and then the cod was cold but removed the bill the crab was tastless the best thing was the beef tataki staff made a lovely effort for our anniversary we wanted dessert but the wait was too

First, and LAST visit to the firepit.Had the set menu, which was rushed in just over half an hour. Our plates were being taken away before we had finished our meals.You are paying for the privilege to be there, definitely not the food.Can get far better meals and service elsewhere for a lot less money.

It was my first time here. First impressions were fantastic. Atmosphere perfect and the welcoming feel you got was extra mile level of service from the team.The prices are extortionate and not even excessive. This opinion from someone who is not afraid to spend money on treating myself. Infact Some prices were just plain ridiculous to be honest, but I appreciate it is targeted for a certain market as it is situated on a golf course that attracts alot of visitors from all over. A £16 bottle of wine normally would cost you £35 here. However I wanted to give it a go as a treat but this really is just a special occasion venue at best.The food and presentation in general is super. The tastes perfectly complementing eachother however I would not reccomend the lamb dish. Being the most expensive it was rather disappointing. I would expect all the tastes of the dish to be coming through for the price, but the lamb itself was non exsistant. The times between dishes were unusually excessive. 40mins plus.The service was faultless for us on this occasion. However I never like to see service charges just put on bills. I would also like to think and expect considering the prices here that the staff are paid well over minium wage per hour by the company itself. If not then it seems a little dishonest. Especially charging these prices then requesting that the customer also tops up their wages too.I'm confident I would reccomend but only for special occasions and I would certainly make them aware that the prices are extortionate. Its important to pay more than normal to experience that little bit more but also feeling a satisfaction of value for money too. £500 on average for one night stay and dinner is far from reasonable for me for the location.For these reasons I give a 3 star. The team work incredibly hard and very attentive. It is very much appreciated.

Had been waiting to visit this restaurant for two years, based on recommendations from friends, who had mentioned it being expensive. It did not disappoint with so many dishes to choose from, they have got the concept and timing of the food service spot on. It was not as costly as we were expecting and for the quality of food is definitely worth every penny. Would recommend this restaurant and cannot wait to return and also try out the Korean Cowgirl downstairs.

Give it go.... I was a little bit unsure about eating here at first - I wasn't sold on the tapas concept and thought generally it may be a little bit 'style over substance' BUT I am willing to admit I was wrong! The food was amazing...and depending on what you ordered was plentiful and well worth the money. I would call out the soft shell crab and Pork ribs as exceptionally good (tasting and value) but then I personally thought the crispy lamb, whilst nice, was overly expensive for what you got and could of easily gone without. Overall - great evening, lovely food and good service.

This is my absolute favorite restaurant! The food is incredible, there is so much flavour and everything is cooked to perfection Always brilliant service with an exceptional head waiter who really knows his stuff! well worth the money, i would much rather save to go here than go to a cheaper restaurant.

A brilliant restaurant for a celebratory meal! The perfect sharing style food for a family, friends or couples. Our third trip, and the food didn’t disappoint! Every dish was beyond tasty and the team were very knowledgeable on each dish. A great selection of drinks, inc cocktails in the bar before/after. My only slight niggle would be the service was slightly (which luckily we didn’t mind as we were busy chatting and not in a rush) slow. If you are happy to have a long drawn out evening, then you shouldn’t worry at all. It would be a five star, but there were a few times where this could be avoided and fixed for the price - offer still or sparkling water upon seating and be shown the drinks menu straight away) offer the drinks menu again with dessert for after dinner drinks/ be shown to a comfier part of the hotel for the later. I have been previously with the old menu, and there was definitely some better dishes (but that’s personal preference!).
Excellent food and service, the music was a bit too loud, but other than that, it was excellent, we had a great time.

Friends that had been before really rate this restaurant so as they were with us - felt limited to moan! Firstly the restaurant is extremely dark! Secondly the leather seats/benches are extremely uncomfortable and cold! Did ask for a cushion which I got. Thirdly uncomfortably warm in the restaurant did open a window. This is before we Evan start on the food. Service is very attentive if not a little bossy girls but they were professional ?♀️ After quite a while of trying to understand the concept which equals “tapas” style we ordered 3 dishes each which came out in two half’s which was fine dishes hot well presented good sized portions. Very Rich some quite oily but very tasty dishes. Too full for dessert Bottles of wine expensive £40 Shiraz it was called ‘the idiot’ so the bill said maybe that was us for buying it! The overall bill for 4 people was £368.44 which included a service charge of £40.94 checky! I wouldn’t return As for the money I can eat fine dinning better else ware in a more comfortable environment ware I can see what I’m eating - sitting uncomfortably not be too hot! Plenty of car parking but don’t ware expensive heels as the slate or shingle not sure what it was will ruing your ?

Visited on a Saturday evening, staff were attentive, food was brought out in a timely fashion. Only real grips was that it all tasted a little too "Smokey" had the signature menu.
