Visited for Sunday brunch the morning after a local wedding. We were part of a large party who had pre-booked. Service on arrival was good but from there on went downhill. Despite the place being only about 70% full we waited over an hour after ordering before our meal came and then were served with food that was barely warm. Some in our group finished eating more than 20 minutes before others were served. Some meals... View all feedback.

A comprehensive review of the restaurant shows a mixed experience for different guests. Some had a negative experience, with long wait times for food, cold meals, and poor service. Issues included missing items in orders, lack of follow-up from management, and subpar food quality. However, others had positive experiences, enjoying tasty meals like the southern fried chicken, Cobb salad, and Thai Pineapple Sweet Chilli pork tenderloin. The staff was praised for friendliness, good service, and attentiveness. Overall, the ambiance was described as nice, with some enjoying the open, ancient Rome-inspired decor. The menu was varied, with good breakfast options, delicious desserts, and great cappuccinos. While some guests may not return due to negative experiences, others highly recommend the restaurant as a family-friendly destination worth visiting regularly.
