Good location. Overpriced food for what you get. Not enough choice and not very nice. Service not good. For a wine bar the wine was awful and expensive. Again not enough choice of drinks. All drinks really overpriced, cocktails not made well. Would not recommend or visit there again. More

Yes it is pretty dated inside, but the food was decent value (we had a groupon) the staff were friendly and the cocktails (though insanely expensive) tasted great. There aren't many places where you can have a decent dinner and dance anymore and I would certainly go back. More

Food is absolutely unbearable, wouldn't never visit again. Service is passable. Interior seemed like it's not much cared for. We were placed in a corner and never heard a note of the live jazz performance. More

Terrible service. Lots of staff, but no one doing anything. Overpriced, very average food, then with a 12.5% service charge added, in addition to a £1.50 per head cover charge. Avoid if you can. More

Booked a Groupon deal for this restaurant for £30 per person for 5 courses. Food choices ok and so was food but they'd packed in so many people you had to shout to be heard. Plus they put on dance tracks way too early as people were still eating. The jazz band was more like Soul but a good group... More

Booked via a groupon deal offering dinner and jazz night for two for £50. Food was good and portion sizes generous. Speedy and friendly service. Good range of wine choices from £20 through to the + £100. Nice restaurant however the jazz wasn't quite what we expected....more like a pub or wedding band than a soulful jazz band. The DJ... More

My fiance and I went with close friends on a Friday evening after finding a great deal on Groupon. This consisted of a 5 course meal and a bellini cocktail on arrival for £50 per couple. Coupled with live Jazz it sounded like a fantastic deal. We arrived at 8.30pm and the live jazz was amazing - it really set... More

Not much to say really, food was not modern european cuisine, unless you call steak and chips that! It tasted average an to be honest you could get better food from a pub next door! Prices were high and that is all down to the location. Service was average, nothing special. The music was not jazz but more like soul.... More

The food was lovely I had lamb and it melted in my mouth. There was swing dancing in the the night we went and if I had more comfortable shoes on I would have had a go, it was like being in a 1940's flim set. Service very quick More

Have been going here regularly for the last six years and just want to say what a great time I have always had. The last two years we have held our Christmas Party here and the menu has something for everyone. The A La Carte Menu is excellent value and the food divine. Would highly recommend.
