Children's fish fingers were very poor, using a cheap fish - possibly Pollock? Distinct taste that the 9yr old didn't like.
Buttermilk chicken was ok but would have preferred more coleslaw and less chicken.
Whilst we like the eclectic look unfortunately we had a wobbly table and uncomfortable bench seat.

Overall a place we wanted to visit, but a place we may not visit unless we hear good reviews again from people who visited.
I remembered visiting Puerto Lounge at the weekend in Exeter, and I realised once we ordered that they were the same menu and price. But the tapas we ordered from Puerto Lounge was much better than any of the food we tried at Cappello Lounge.
The hot chocolate was par below compared to what we tried before. I felt the chocolateness was missing, and I could feel a mild milk taste in the background while having it.
The portion for the burger was decent, but it didn’t live up to the taste I was expecting. The buttermilk fried chicken was crispy outside and juicy inside, but it disappointed me as the flavours didn't penetrated into the chicken. I wished they would have added some solid sauce for the burger. The bacon was excellent, as anyone can cook it, and the rocket salad was decent. I expected a bit more cheese on both burgers, but I was disappointed. The best thing was the fries as they felt cooked freshly with skins.
The customer service was excellent and helpful. However, it was disappointing when we couldn’t order some of the brisket items. The ambience was amazing, with a great venue for a date. I should try some cocktails next time!
My friend had chicken and bacon burger, minus the avocado with sweet potato fries . He said it was delicious, the burger wasn't dry at all, bun was 👌 and the fries were the right amount of crispy.
The staff are all lovely and it's a really chill atmosphere, good music. Option to order to the table, coffee was great on previous times and they offer alternatives to milk too.
Great place for some food/drink/chill :)
