  “Had the garlic and chilli butter prawns at the Live from the grill event in Manchester and they were 10/10. We’re going to come and eat in the restaurant to try the rest of the menu.”

  “Ask plenty of questions. Even the "mains" I would suggest thinking about sides and treating as a large sharing plate. Seasoning can be bold”

  “Every dish was above expectations, from the steak tartare to the ox cheek lasagna and the crispy potato galettes. The quality of the ingredients and presentation were excellent, and the restaurant has a lovely interior with a warm, modern atmosphere. The staff were also very friendly and attentive throughout the meal. The only small criticism is that the beef short rib was a little too salty for my taste. Other than that, everything was fantastic and I’d definitely come back. Dog friendly as well!!”

  “Came here for lunch on Saturday. We’ve been before so had high expectations but the food standard has definitely dropped with price increases across the board. The Good: the fried chicken is still pretty yum, and the service was prompt and efficient. Didn’t need to wait too long for any of our food and the servers were very attentive. The bad: everything had SO MUCH SALT!! The prawns and the lasagne were SO salty. The prawns were also not fresh as they were a bit mushy but this is a recurring issue. I liked the option of being able to add bread to the prawn dish for the sauce, but the sauce was not as good as I remembered. I also found the lasagne a bit dry. It’s an okay meal, and our total was 73 pounds for two mains, a drink, fries and a starter which isn’t anything to be sniffed at. At that price point I would definitely expect better than this”

  “Best food I’ve had in a while! We went on a Wednesday night, and the place was buzzing with a classic European cafe atmosphere. The quality of the food and the drinks was great. We over ordered (4 per person) and couldn’t finish the meal, but particular highlights where - potatoes (magical), short rib (big flavours), tiger prawns (massive). Portion sizes are generous, and the service was very personable! For our first time visiting, we’ll be making this a regular! I am more pleased that this is an independent business producing top quality for the community… bravo CC, bravo!”

  “The food was delicious but like other reviews, I agree everything is a bit too rich all together. Great individually. The padron pepper seasoning has a sourness, sea salt alone is enough - really took away from the peppers simply delicious flavour. The service was poor, there's no other way to put it. A real lack of energy from the staff. I would recommend this restaurant on the food only, it's delicious. Just make sure you order lots of greens to balance out the richness of all the sauce. I think the menu needs a re-think in this regard. Not everything on the menu needs to be bursting with flavour and heavy on the cream. Well cooked simply seasoned food is equally as important. Love the aesthetic of the place, beautiful decor.”

  “Really liked it. Roast Dinner as it was Sunday. Very large portions so watch out as I was overfaced with the chicken starter and the stack for a main. I would go back (on a Saturday as the menu looks great). Only quibble was gravy was a little salty for me .”
