Prawn twists had a nice flavor, enough prawn, and did not have the sweet chili sauce every restaurant on the island uses with almost every starter (if you can't tell, a little tired of it). Chicken wings were a good size and tasty. Bloomin onion was really enjoyable, fried onion (not rings) as close as I've seen this side of the pond to the Outback classic in the US. For a main I had the tomahawk rib eye. A very large steak, I originally ordered medium rare, the waitress guided me to rare and that was a great call as by my standards even rare would have been closer to medium at a US steak house. I also really enjoyed the curly fries with it. Nice beer and wine list, really fun restaurant.

I had the pickled burger, a burger with pickled onions and gherkins. Square patty that was particularly tasty. It was thin and got dried out when cooked. The bun was a nice real roll, not a cheap burger bun. Onion rings were the highlight of the meal. Good and not greasy. Side salad disappointing, small and just some lettuce. Enjoyed the place, a good lunch and not too formal.

We had a sharing platter for two, which included three cuts of steak, duck and lamb, multiple sauces and two sides. The sides we chose, onion rings and chips in goose fat, were good. Unfortunately the meats were not special, outside of the lamb. The steaks, even the fillet, were difficult to cut and all tasted the same. Worse, I could not tell if the duck was lamb or beef at first, it had such a "meh" flavor. The sauces also did not add much, again the one exception the mint sauce for the lamb. Overall it was a huge (and impressive) portion of meet but nothing that tasty.

Basically just one big room with a kitchen out the back, we ordered from their fish heavy menu with me really enjoying the scallop and lobster fritter to start off with. I found the rack of lamb to finish fairly enjoyable but nothing too ground breaking. Even though I was lucky I wasn't paying (thanks Dad) I did find it a bit overpriced at being £37.50 for 2 courses and £45 for 3. At these prices I'd be expecting something a bit more wow-filled as opposed to decent homestyle cooked food. I also thought the beer selection could do with some work, just rubbish generic lagers and one bushy's ale served warm...plus the wine by the glass menu was pretty limited. No pinot noir... Overall a nice night and enjoyable, very friendly waitress.

Had the ribeye steak, it was cooked just as I had asked and was not overly fatty. Ordered a side of peas with bacon, they were very tasty. Also had a green salad, which was simply a green salad. Service was okay but sometimes difficult to get server's attention. They also grossly overcharged us when we paid the check (more than double), luckily my friend noticed and they refunded the difference. Nice location, good but not great food, okay service.

A very rich creamy sauce and the bread was drenched thus there was no textural contract making it sickly. Queenies...well queenies are queenies. Malaysian fish curry soup. Red curry with some tasty fish and a couple of shrimp. Again very heavy and creamy - no bread for contrast or a few noodles. Lastly beetroot over a creamy something piped with pesto around the side. The beetroot was overpowered by the creamy stuff. Again no bread to spread it on or anything to draw contrast - a parmesan crisp might have worked. I asked for more bread or crackers to mop up all these soupy things. Half a very small slice of "artisanal" bread was brought for which they charged me a squid fifty. Its a small cafe, very nice with a great view and some great ideas but 6 hours later my tummy is still reeling from those sauces. A lime and mint drink (soda chanh ) was delicious but beware two thirds of the glass was ice leaving a few inches for liquid. Fifty Five pounds, not bad but no need to go back.

Even if you're not a huge meat eater, there were still plenty of options on the buffet. And they have a menu. They were very nice. The food was very good.

We were put in the very rear by the back door, which, when opened, occasionally required us to get up from our seats to let someone in. My pasta was great, the garlic soup was AMAZING (I've never heard of a creamy garlic soup with pesto drizzle before but now I pretty much wake up dreaming about it), and my boyfriend loved his personal pizza. The lattes we got for desert were too huge and watery. Had difficulty finishing them, and they weren't very good. The only thing that has room for improvement, though. The customer service was great (a well-spoken foreign exchange high school student was our waitress), and Leonardo himself initially took our order and stayed a while by our table, talking boisterously and cracking jokes. He was an amusing character. We wanted to come back once more, but time did not permit us to.
