Artisan Cocktail Bar & Grill — Restaurant in England

Came here few months ago on a Sunday for a roast. I’m veggie but came with a couple meat eaters too. Was informed that they had run out of nut roast for the veggie roast and they had no other vegetarian food other than the vegetables. So I ended up with veggies and gravy 🤷🏻‍♂️ they took £2 off but was still extremely expensive for some steamed veg and gravy 🤷🏻‍♂️ my parents who had meat said it was fine but nothing great. Much better roasts on the island. We were the only people in the restaurant and I believe it felt like they just wanted to get us done and shut down early. Not super welcoming

As I said this was months ago so thought we would try this place out again last night. We looked at the menu online and though there were a few veggie options for my partner and myself. Get there and greeting was welcoming which is much improved from a few months ago. However looked at the menu which was completely different and had very few veggie options. Was told the menu hadn’t been updated on the website for a while. We ended up leaving just because there weren’t many options for us. Disappointed again. They chap was friendly so can’t say his fault at all but clearly management don’t know how to manage a restaurant properly. Wouldn’t recommend here for veggies at all. And the few times I’ve been here with meat eaters they weren’t amazed by anything so couldn’t recommend this establishment after...

A while back I went here for my mum and aunts birthday. The cocktails were lovely and the staff very friendly. We all had 2 courses. The starters were okay bit my aunt was unwell after the meal. For mains we all had the seafood pasta. It was awful. Hardly any seafood. It just tasted like pasta and cream. It was a very disappointing night. We had been here previously and had nice food. After complaining we were offered the opportunity to come back for cocktails and two courses as a replacement. Once again the cocktails were lovely and our waitress was very lovely. Our starters were all very nice. However, once again the mains were a let down. I had the steak board. The meat was stone cold. My mother's pork was Luke warm. I complained and were told our drinks bill would be discounted. But they tried to over charge us instead. Last time they also tried to over charge us too. Both times when we queried the bill they agreed they had got it wrong. I would be tempted to go back for cocktails, but would examine the bill closely. I don't think any of us would eat here again. Such a pity because before 3 or 4 months ago the...

Possibly the most banal, slow serving, approximate place I've visited in Ryde. No cocktail was harmed in writing this review: I'll talk about the food.

Don't get me wrong, the ambiance is well cured and the place looks nice. Nothing to complain there.

The place decides to put on the menu some pub classics like fish and chips. Great, exactly what you'd expect in Ryde! As you can see form the picture, not only the cod was average, the chips were overcooked and rather dry. Additionally: no tartar sauce, slightly undercooked peas, total absence of salt, peeler, vinegar etc made this experience forgettable.

The mussels were ok-ish, but the sauce they came with was overpowering compared to the rather bland taste of the mussels itself.

Ah: we waited 13 minutes for our drinks. In a cocktail place that works as a pub. Good beer selection, at least.

You'd be better off eating somewhere else. Maybe come here for...
