Randomly visited with my daughters. Staff were friendly enough but took a very long time to bring us the bill at the end even after asking them to, which meant a very bored 5yr old getting disruptive. Food was nice but it's quite a costly restaurant, so it's more worth a special treat rather than a last minute eat out option. Cosy set up and nice for a more grown up meal. Definitely not wheelchair friendly
I came her with my wife and 2 children and we loved it. The decor and general atmosphere is excellent and very well maintained. The menu had an excellent selection and the food was so so good. I would definitely recommend and will return when next in Carlisle.
Went in for a belated anniversary meal. Rang up to book a last minute table and was given an option to be seated in 15 minutes - perfect for us. We ordered starters & mains. The portions are quite large. I had a cheesy mushroom starter with the most delicious bread and a cheesy chicken main with a side of chips and veg. Wouldn't recommend getting veg and chips together, it was too much food! It was perfectly cooked and absolutely delicious. The menu was large and there was plenty of options for us. Service was really good & pretty quick. Would recommend and go back Parking: On street parking nearby, would be a few minutes walk away. Wheelchair accessibility: The restaurant is downstairs under an old church. Didn't see a lift or ramp to get down the level.
There was a bit of a wait before we got seated as a result of the restaurant being busy / popular. The service at the table, though, was friendly and quick. The ambiance inside the restaurant was good; the interior is well designed and has a nice feel about it. The food was OK but I wouldn't rave about it. I had the mushroom bruscetta to start but it was over cooked, dry and lacked flavour. The seafood fettuccine tasted a lot better. The mussels and cockles were still in their shells which is something I'd rather not battle with when eating out but others might be OK with it. Overall, the restaurant is OK but if I was visiting the town again, I'd try somewhere else.
Friendly staff and good service, value for money dishes.Food: 4/5
I've been back here recently, still very impressed with the food, the staff and the cosy environment. Highly recommended!
Our first time there and it was my birthday Beautiful meal and fantastic atmosphere. Met some lovely people and had a wonderful night. Would highly recommend.Food: 5/5
This was very disappointing, we waited an hour for one beer and then to have another beer or drink was a difficulty, we ordered our food and sat for an hour before it arrived in which we had 5 sets of cutlery for 6, no spoons or anything for cutting pizza. In which we asked for them to be cut and he held our pizza and dropped it on the table. Overall very dissatisfied with the customer service, very unwelcoming and not very professional I will not be coming here again!
We had a lovely meal...starters and main. Wine. Coffee. The only let down was the limocello as neither the glass or the limocello was chilled. Apart from that a lovely evening.Food: 5/5
Some dishes could be improved , my vongole was filled with sundried tomatos , to make up for clams being so minute. Too much sauce on chicken dish , breast of chicken cooked in one whole chunk very dry.Food: 3/5
