I work across the street and went in here for lunch.. it is excellent value for money and the food was superb!! We usually just eat from the student canteen or bakery, but we fancied eating in today instead. I am very impressed with the standard of meal, the quality of the food and also the service. we will definately... More

I went for a meal with my dad at a lunchtime sitting. Having been engrossed in Masterchef this last month I was expecting something really excellent from this trainee chef restaurant but unfortunately our food was good but that's all. Very reasonable prices and pleasant environment and I imagine it would be much nicer in the evening. I would return... More

We visited the restaurant on a Wednesday theme night. We had the set 4 course menu which was priced at £18.50. Service - great, a little clumsy but no real problems. Food - this was a disappointment to us. The first course was chicken with a salsa which was nice. The fish course was pan fried sardines with the exact... More

Having ate in a wide variety of good class establishments over they years, I went here more in hope than expectation, even allowing for the good reviews.

We went on the Wednesday night set menu which was advertised as tastes of the world but actually had been changed to Italian themed. Food was utterly delicious and presented beautifully, representing excellent value for the price. The waiting staff are the only way you would know this was a student learning venue. Though charming and helpful our waiter did... More

We visited this restaurant after reading reviews on TripAdvisor and we were not disappointed. The atmosphere and ambiance was great enhanced by the subtle lighting. The menu was amazing and when the food came to our table the presentation was as if you were in some high class restaurant, but the great thing was it came without the expensive prices.... More

Will definitely be returning here again soon....lovely relaxed setting and layout, fantastic menu with beautiful food choices you would find in top restaurants but at a fraction of the price. Our food was delicious and faultless, as was the service. Very well prepared and beautifully presented, and it tastes even better than it looks. You wouldn't know it was a... More

This restaurant is well worth seeking out. There is a very comfortable seating area for pre-dinner drinks and menu selection and the service is friendly and efficient. The lighting is subtle and the atmosphere good. There is a choice of a 5 course taster menu or a la carte fine dining menu; I chose the latter. The food was excellent... More
