    everything was fine except one dish, brussel sprouts- they were burned black, and when I commented on them the waiter said :” that’s how we make them”. nobody makes them like that. so, we won’t come back. i don’t eat in restaurants where they don’t cook better than me.

    BlackOwner

    Thank you for your feedback. We’re very sorry to hear about your disappointing experience with the Brussels sprouts and the way your comment was handled. This is not the response or standard we want to provide. We’ll address this with our team to improve. Your input is valuable to us.

    I had an absolutely wonderful evening at this restaurant tonight! From the moment we arrived, the atmosphere was warm and inviting. The staff were attentive and friendly, making sure everything was just right. The food? Simply amazing! Every dish was full of flavor, beautifully presented, and made with fresh ingredients. You can really tell there’s love and skill in the kitchen. The drinks were also on point – perfectly mixed and served with style. Everything was top-notch – food, drinks, service, and ambiance. A big thumbs up 👍🏾 all around. I’ll definitely be coming back and can highly recommend it to anyone looking for a great dining experience!

    It was easy to make a reservation, easy to find the restaurant. Pleasant outdoor atmosphere. We arrived at 8:55 for our 9:00 reservation. The waiter indicated that we could seat ourselves. By 9:40 no one had addressed us or given us menus. They looked tired. They weren’t nasty about it but we were pretty centrally located so there was no way to not see us. When people who arrived after us were greeted and given menus we decided it was time to go because we were very hungry by then. Clearly the staff was overwhelmed. While I understand that it happens sometimes , it would have been polite for them to let us know that when we arrived. I gave the food a 3/5 rating even though we never tasted it because leaving it blank might imply poor quality rather than “not applicable “. Maybe the food was good. 3/5 seemed like a fair guess. I didn’t want to slam them with an artificially low # which would take time to correct

    BlackOwner

    Thank you for taking the time to share your detailed feedback. We’re truly sorry that you were left unattended and that you decided to leave without being served. This is not the level of service we want to provide, and we fully understand your frustration. We appreciate the considerate way you explained your rating, and we’ll be addressing this with our team to prevent it from happening again. Your comments are very valuable to us.

    Food and service was excellent. Staff very accommodating. We were initially assigned a table near the door which was a bit drafty. Without any fuss they managed to sort us out although it was very busy! Food was delicious!

    Food was really good. The service was awful -staff trying to take plates away when you’re not finished eating. One particular member of staff is really in the wrong job - very rude - she really did ruin the meal experience which was such a shame when the food was so good.

    BlackOwner

    Thank you for your review. We’re glad to hear that you enjoyed the food, but we’re very sorry that the service and interactions with our staff left you disappointed. This is not the experience we want to provide. We’ll address your feedback with our team to make improvements.

    Great atmosphere and friendly staff. Service can be a bit improved by asking about the food 5 minutes after serving. Also not very thoughtful about empty glas(ses) at the table. Everything else is all good 👍

    I had a great experience at this restaurant. The rib eye was absolutely delicious — tender, juicy, and cooked to perfection. The service was friendly and attentive, which made the whole evening even better. I definitely recommend this place!

    Interesting experience! Food was great but apparently angered the waitress asking to put my still breathing steak back on a grill for a second since I got a well overcooked one back. And missed the order for a starter, which was probably a good thing since the main was enough. Many spelling mistakes on daily hand written signs and printed menu we found amusing. Coctails! So yeah. Interesting. Tasty. But not super impressed by the service but maybe they know it’s a Fork booking and pay less attention.. not sure. Generally a bit confused by the whole thing.

    7/10

    The restaurant has a pleasant atmosphere, but the tables are very close together. The menu met our expectations. We had a gin and tonic as an aperitif which was very good and then two 100% angus beef burgers which were really very tasty. The waiters were friendly but the service was very slow. We recommend arriving around 8pm when most people have finished dinner. The service will be quicker and you will be less crowded.
