Capo lounge is definitely a first choice if we ever want to sit down for a drink and some food.
The place itself I would call "folksy". It's adorned with art, the low light gives it a hideaway kind of feel and the piped music added to the vibe.
Also, as someone who has worked in the bar/restaurant business, it was nice to see individual tip jars rather than a communal pot.
I would recommend it and will go again to try out a lunch meal.
My one and only little itty bitty note is the toast could've been grilled longer but it was still nice, non the less. 🙂👍
The food was okay, but (to my mind) was overpriced. £25.60 for two chicken salad ciabata rolls, a pint of shandy and a glass of lemonade seemed excessive. I think (in a pub) you could probably have bought similar for £10 or more cheaper - and would probably get chips with it as well. There are vegetarian, vegan and gluten free menus but, since we are none of those, they didn't apply to us.
The waiters do not take orders, one has to go to the bar, order your meal and drinks and then return to your table to wait for it to be delivered. This was not explained to us and we spent another 10 minutes trying to attract the attention of a waiter before a friendly customer on the next table enlightened us.
The 'ambience' is okay, it's unusual and interesting, but I can find that in many other places at cheaper prices. The waiting staff seemed completely disinterested in whether we were enjoying our brief visit or not, we were not asked if the food was alright and beyond actually delivering it to our table they didn't interact with us at all.
We shan't be returning.
