It used to serve pretty standard pub food, but I went there recently & the menu was really varied, & what you would expect from a good restaurant rather than a pub. The food was really well presented with some fab serving plates, & the service was good - friendly & relaxed but still at just the right pace. They do set menus, which are usually limited, but their set menu was almost as long as the standard menu in some places. I'd recommend it!

We were regulars there, at least once a week, but not anymore. That £20+ pw is now getting spent elsewhere.

Very Poor Sevice! By A Google User 24 Jan 2010…read moreI was ejected from this venue tonigt the reasen our main course was outstanding the food well cooked and really tastey. However our starters were missing the rest of our party of 25 had theres and 5 were missing i dared to question where ours were and when 5 mins after everone had finished theres they were all cold i questioned the owner whe also was our waiter about the starters. I was called a Fat Bas**rd asked to leave and physically thown out by the bouncer who then threatened my whith violance if i said anything. This was infornt of my 13 yr old daughter my son and wife. So if you dont complaine this is good food but if you want to experience verble and physical abuse this is the place for you. AVOID AT ALL COST!

Totally agree that this is not what I have come to expect from a Halifax bar/restaurant. A friend…read morefrom work had told me all about it and I didn't really believe that it was nice. We tried it on a night out and I was very pleasantly surprised. The bar downstairs is really classy - big leather booths and lots of wood. Really extensive menu of wines and beers and whiskies. We had dinner upstairs and the decor was even nicer and much more decadent than downstairs. Our food was really good - I had tuna to start and it was cooked perfectly, just pink in the middle. I had pasta for main - very spicy and cooked to my taste with bit of bite still there. Everyone in my party enjoyed their food. The staff were excellent - main chap was welcoming and friendly and all staff seemed well trained and attentive. I really hope this place takes off and does well - my experience of Halifax nightlife is that it is crying out for a smart bar/restaurant.

Staff were friendly and efficent.. Excellent meal and value already arranged to go back next month

The prices are comparable with other restaurants in the area, and you always leave feeling you have had excellent value for money.

After being seated by the very attentive waiter we browsed the menu and ordered quickly, our starters were soon on the table. I had the king prawn risotto and it arrived beautifully presented and though at first glance it appeared to be on the small side it was in fact quite filling. As it was sunday I went for the traditional roast beef and yorkshire pudding and what a treat that was, the meat was cooked to perfection and very tender, the large yorkshire pudding was just how it should be, the vegetables lightly cooked and the potato lump free! Though stuffed after such a large meal I did manage to fit in a pudding, a sweet sticky toffee pudding which finished the meal off rather nicely. The food is rather expensive and you could easily get a cheaper sunday dinner elsewhere but it wouldn't be such a high standard of food.
