The food is excellent. I would have given a 5, but our waiter was very sarcastic. So, there is no tip this time. Hope to go back but when he is not working.

Such a lovely spot for dinner, so nice to see the trees by the river from the tables. The service was friendly and the food was imaginative and so tasty. Met here for a catch up with a friend on a Saturday night and the atmosphere was fun, welcoming and relaxed. I requested some slight changes to my meal which were provided by the kitchen with no fuss. I'd return for sure.

Most of the staff were fantastic however one member let you down, when asked if we could have a window seat in a completely empty restaurant he said why would I let you have a window seat when you haven't booked, not at all professional. He then served a bottle of water which was dirty. However and luckily the rest of the staff were fantastic and the food was amazing otherwise this fantastic looking restaurant on the river seven would have struggled to get 3 stars.

Lovely restaurant, although food very disappointing. My favourite fish is halibut so I was delighted to see that was the fish of the day. Sadly the halibut was tasteless and very under seasoned. I'm sure if we'd chosen something else we would have had a better experience.

We came here with my fiancee and both of our families to celebrate our engagement. It was an amazing evening, the food was delicious, the staff were friendly and attentive, and the music upstairs was fun and lively. Overall, it was an incredible evening!

Visited yesterday with a friend and my one year old. Food was decent but the visit was completely ruined by the attitude of the waiter and I certainly will not ever come back. Having eaten our meal we sat for quite some time waiting for our plates to be taken and to ask for the bill and couldn't get the attention of any of the staff, once we got the attention of a staff member we got the bill and again sat waiting for someone to come and take payment from us. By this point my little one was starting to get a little impatient as we had been sat for a while waiting to pay so he was feeling a bit fed up and let out a single squeal out of frustration of being stuck waiting when he wanted to leave, immediately one of the waiters came over to us and asked us to leave as they can't have children whinging and squealing etc. I explained to the man we are waiting to pay and leave and have been waiting a while for someone to actually come over and take payment hence why my son was starting to get a bit fed up, the man ignored this and just continued saying that my child is going to upset other customers and cause them to complain and we had to leave the premises immediately etc. To which I said again well if you let us pay we will leave which like I said we have been waiting quite a while to do so if you could just take our payment now then we can leave as we don't even want to be in the premises anymore. The man then left to get a card machine and then came back being overly nice and smiley. The whole encounter was completely unnecessary and made us feel really uncomfortable and unwelcome and the man's whole attitude was really rude and confronting. My child had been good as gold throughout our time there and had only started to whinge due to the fact we had been waiting for so long to pay and leave. We had a nice meal it's just a shame that this particular staff member was so rude and completely let the place down.

Never been before and have to say I’m glad I came. The staff were lovely and the food was gorgeous! Compliments to the chef as the hake was cooked to perfection even though the place was so busy. The risotto was gorgeous too. Will definitely be coming back. Thank you.

Having visited twice this week, once on busy Sunday lunchtime and today. The quality of the food and service is reassuringly the same. Service is both friendly and efficient and the food fresh and tasty. Very relaxing atmosphere too. Big thanks to all the staff.

Food was excellent. The interior and feel of the place was really nice. Service was generally good, they were a little stretched perhaps but it was busy. We asked for some more drinks, but they never arrived, forgotten. We didn't get charged but that was the only thing that could have been better. Otherwise, lovely place, would recommend.

Lovely location for a summer evening out. Great ambience, almost full (Friday). Friendly and attentive staff. We chose the whitebait 'nibble' and calamari for starters - very good. Starter portions were quite small but main courses huge!. Our mains were lamb chops which come quite pink - will choose something else next time. Sea-bass main had 2 large fillets which was generous, but unnecessary - I felt bad leaving so much on my plate. Good creme brulee. We felt that the food and wine were fairly priced. Will return.

The ambience when you walk through the doors is great. The staff are always so attentive, knowledgeable and nice. As for the food.....well I have never had a bad meal here and this is our go-to place for dinner. Saltimbocca chicken or the seabass are my favourites but everyone always raves about their meal. If you want your night to continue then head upstairs for live music, possibly just at the weekend.

Lovely busy atmosphere in this restaurant with friendly efficient service. The food was fabulous. My starter was calamari which was beautifully melt in the mouth and came with a lovely aioli and tasty salad. The goats cheese salad was equally good. Two of us had sea bass and one the halloumi burger which came with sweet potato fries and a lovely biting chilli sauce. There was a great range of desserts. The home-made tiramisu was gorgeous, there was also a lovely apricot bread and butter pudding and I had cannoli which were devine. I'd thoroughly recommend a visit. If you can get a table near the window or the weather is nice enough to sit outside you also get a view of the river.
