Visited here last night with some friends, four of us in total. We'd heard very mixed reviews (mainly poor) regarding the new restaurant however thought we'd give the place a chance.

We had booked a table and arrived a little early so our table wasn't ready which wasn't a problem, went to the bar and got a drink and waited the ten minutes like we were told. Then our table was ready. We ordered around 10 minutes later, each a starter and main. The first problem was that they had ran out of a starter and the waitress said ''its very popular but we don't have enough in'', if a dish is popular why wouldn't you order extra in?! Then we noticed a lot of people on tables around us complaining about the time their food was taking which made us a little on edge about ours, and right we was to be.

Our starters took nearly an hour to arrive, when they did I asked the waiter if the main meals will be taking as long as if so we would be leaving. The waitress was lovely and said she's tell the kitchen to hurry along. After waiting so long for our starters although the taste was good they were only luke warm.. we didn't bother sending them back as we were all starving and didn't want to wait another hour for them to be replaced. After our plates were cleared we thought our mains wouldn't take that long but nearly an hour later just before we were deciding whether to leave or not they arrived. When they did arrive there was items missing such as sauce etc, and again the food was barely warm. We ate most of the food because we were so hungry after waiting so long. We did feel lucky to get our food as there was other tables around us that were still waiting, one had been waiting for 1 hour and 20 mins for their starters!

When we had finished we just wanted to leave as we were fed up and actually felt quite angry with our experience. Also some of the group were still hungry due to the long wait and lack of quality in the food. I called a waitress over and said that we'd still not received our bill and that we would not be paying full price due to all the reasons listed above. The lady simply replied ''OK'' so i asked her what she would be doing for us and her response was ''you can just leave'' and that's exactly what we did, without paying for any of the food. I did feel sorry for this lady as we could see she was getting a lot of complaints.

This restaurant has great potential and the front of house staff were lovely and getting the back lash of all the problems which i believe stems from the kitchen. The chef's didn't look rushed or stressed at any point of the evening and i feel that they didn't care, which when your a chef your passion should be providing amazing food to your customers, sadly these chef's don't do that. I'm not sure if they are simply inexperienced or what but i feel if the chefs and the organisation isn't sorted soon then this restaurant wont stay in business for much longer.. We spoke to about 5 other lots of customers outside and majority of them didn't pay either.

So there is a lot of money and business being lost here, the reputation of a place is always best spread by word of mouth and i know for a fact there will be a lot of people warned off from this place.

We most defiantly wont be returning, unless in future the place is up to scratch and improves greatly.
