James and Lauren said: "What a fantastic dinner we had. Laura and I were lucky to get a fantastic sofa booth table which made us so happy and relaxed (and made us feel like VIPs) which had fantastic decoration around it, very lovely atmosphere. Huge selection of drinks (lots of gins, vodkas, cocktails etc). I had the lamb shank which was so soft and tender as you would expect. Laura had the Lasagne which had a fantastic sauce and was rammed full of flavour. Rather than having a desert, I chose the salted caramel Martini, which was fantastic, really nice end to the meal.

The barman who made me a porn star martini with Barcadi was very efficient, smart, and friendly. It was delicious). Our food was hot and tasty, although all of us thought our chicken dishes were actually Turkey. Good atmosphere, even though very quiet."
