After a few minutes we sat down and then waited for another 5 minutes for our menus and they taken our drink order.
The starters of king prawns (only 3 in the dish) was tasty and my husbands meatballs (only 3) was tasty too but for £8 each I would of expected more.
Waiting for the mains, a lady came in screaming asking for her takeaway money back which did have an impact on the whole of the restaurant and customers.
When the mains arrived I had the fillet steak with Diane sauce and to be honest the steak was nice but a little under cooked for my liking as it was quite thick. The sauce was tasteless and it’s served with for what I think is frozen veg and frozen wedges which you only get 1 side per main so we shared ours and For £21 I would expect fresh veg.
My husband enjoyed his steak and sauce.
We decided to leave after and we received an apology for the screaming lady and from that happening I would of thought we would of received a discount as it did put a damper on the whole experience.
The other thing we didn’t like is the ‘just eat’ delivery drivers just walking in through the restaurant which was annoying.
I’ll go again to try the pizzas and pasta dishes.
The waiting staff are lovely and it is a beautiful restaurant. Only lost 1 star due to the screaming woman, my steak dish and the delivery guys.
