Cosy restaurant located in Bolton neighborhood. There is both inside and outside seating available. Good selection of dishes from menu and served portions are generous. They also have wide variety of drinks including cocktails. Everything was very good and would even say tasted delicious. Highly recommend.

Visited 29/04/2024, at lunch time parking was available in the limited spots at front of the building. Go in and there is the restaurant part to the right as you go in. The seabass on the potato dauphinois and green beans was very tasty, the side of salt and pepper chips was also nice. Food came quickly and both the staff looking after the group were very attentive and friendly. āļøāļøāļøāļøāļø

Love coming here for an evening meal with my wife. Also love the individual pods on offer (however I had pre booked one well in advance, and even double checked the night before) only to find on arrival we had been moved into and outside space. Luckily the lady greeting quickly changed this for us and apologised. Recent menu change is good but for me the old one had much better offerings but I suppose you have to change things up to keep people retuning.

We arrived on quite a rainy afternoon. The carpark isn't in the best of shape, and although the walk way to the entrance does have a canopy, with all the potholes in front, it's hard to miss the large puddles. On entry we spoke to a polite member of bar staff who seated us. The seating was elevated, a bench on one side of the table and stools the other. I'd have rather we sat at ground level but it was ok. It was warm on arrival but not overly so. The lady who served us was lovely and helpful. Our first round of drinks consisted of two cocktails and a mocktail. I enjoyed a whiskey Sour, it was ok although it was a bit light on the whiskey. I ordered a steak baguette, my niece's ordered the Cajun burger and Mac n cheese. The baguette was very nice, my niece didn't like the Mac n cheese and later ordered a garlic bread with cheese instead, my other niece enjoyed her chicken burger. The fries were disappointing, clearly standard catering frozen fries. The garlic bread was nice although quite oily and very cheesy. Tasty but hard to eat. The girls had another mocktail and a water while I enjoyed a white russian and a smokey old fashioned. I did wonder how they would be doing the old fashioned, especially as it was "smokey" I checked what whiskey they used before ordering (traditionally it's rye bourbon), they used Buffalo Trace which does make a decent old fashioned, I had worried they would either use JD or a peated Islay whisky, neither would have done great in an old fashioned. It arrived under a glass cloche filled with smoke (a great visual). It looked impressive and did add a smokey flavour. Unfortunately I couldn't taste the bitters, it also seemed to lack the sugar cube or syrup and contained an orange slice rather than just the rind. As you can probably guess, I like an Old fashioned and this, despite the visuals, was just average and again seemed to be shy on the bourbon. Overall, service was wonderful, staff were all very pleasant and polite, I don't think it was worth the overall cost and the menu felt very limited. It seems more like the sort of place youd go for staff drinks. I may go again with it being local but it wouldn't be my first choice.

What a wonderful restaurant! The venue for a buisness meeting, the visit was my first. Excellent ambience, very friendly (and helpful) staff. The food (slow cooked pork belly bites) was delicious especially the great chips (uniquely so too!). Highly recommended if you're thinking of visiting.

Amazing! Great vibe, attentive staff and top notch food with wide cocktail and vegetarian range. Lovely floral interior with plenty of comfy booth areas. Personal touch from Chef Muks to ask how everything was at table.

Beautiful setup and very welcoming. Food was gorgeous and thoroughly enjoyed. Prices were a bit on a high side but large portion of tasty food so worth it! Will visit again on a family special or a good friends gathering occasion.

Been a while since I was last here, fortunately the quality and service is still as good as ever. Be warned! The garlic bread is a full 10+ inch pizza base so best to share with others. Main courses were pretty big so best to go with a healthy appetite. Also, it was busy this evening so best to book a table so you're not disappointed. Dessert options look great, but sadly we couldn't partake due to previous courses.
