Most Disliked
While the overall feedback is overwhelmingly positive, some guests note that the menu can feel limited. A few diners mention that popular dishes sometimes run out, especially during busy hours. Weekend peak times, like Sunday afternoons, can lead to a crowded experience, making it difficult to find a table. Those looking for an extensive selection may find the limited menu restrictive. Moreover, during peak hours, service may slow down slightly as staff handle a high volume of orders. Some guests wish for more vegan options, hoping to see expanded variety in that area.

We booked on Saturday evening x5 - what a Lovely little restaurant. It did not disappoint. The menu, though limited had a nice selection of different dishes to suit all tastes. The Aubergine was to die for….Service was excellent - great cocktail and wine menu. Food was delicious. A little gem. We will return

We decided to try out Matte black lounge tonight for my partners birthday and we were not disappointed. The food was delicious and the service from (Sam) was exceptional and very attentive. We had the prawns and the garlic bread for starter and the prawn spaghetti and lamb shank for dessert and tbh I could not highlight any areas for improvement as everything was perfect. He even threw in a complimentary birthday brownie for my partner. We will definitely return! 😊

We tried the restaurant for the first time for lunch and want to recommend it to everyone. The owner has done a fantastic job in creating a warm atmosphere with delicious food. We had the set menu, trying the Caesar salad, a pizza and the sea bass. All were cooked to perfection, the pizza was excellent and they have a great choice of options and my husband said the sea bass was delicious. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it to anyone looking for a nice meal out .
