Service was really attentive. T-bone steak was spot on, seabass was good too. Solid spot for a nice dinner.

Came for brunch with a group. The waiter was really nice about our toddler, even brought over a little colouring sheet. Made the whole thing a lot less stressful. Coffee was good too.

Been coming here for years. The Chicken Tikka Dopiaza is spot on, really hits the spot. Proper flavours, not watered down. Just a solid, reliable curry.

Been here a few times. The roast potatoes were a bit soft last time, but the rest of the food is always solid. Staff are friendly and don&#39;t mind a chat.

Peaceful spot right across from the sea. Solid coffee. Staff were friendly and got it right. Clean little place. Good for a quiet moment.

Bottomless brunch is a solid deal for a quick bite. Good spread of drinks, food comes out fast and looks decent. That welcome glass of fizz is a nice start. Gets busy, but service keeps up.

The khao soi here is a rare find outside Thailand. The broth had that perfect balance of rich coconut and spice, and the crispy noodles on top were still crunchy. Just like I remember from Chiang Mai.

Lovely sunny terrace overlooking the sea. The fritto misto was the highlight for me&mdash;the seafood tasted incredibly fresh and the batter was light, not greasy at all. A really nice, simple lunch.

The staff were so kind to find us a table for the match last minute. They really worked hard all evening.

Lovely staff, really friendly and not at all rushed. The vibe was just right for a long catch-up with my mates - we didn&#39;t feel hurried at all. Food was good, too.

The Sunday roast is the one to get. The beef was cooked just right, and the plate was absolutely loaded with everything. Hot and hearty. The apple and rhubarb crumble afterwards was a nice touch.

Nice spot for a family lunch. The staff handled our big group really well, even with a couple of dietary requests. The food was hot and tasty. I appreciated the wine list &ndash; found a decent red that went nicely with the roast.

Been coming here for years. The staff are always so friendly, and they never mind our dog tagging along.

Been coming here for years, mainly for the live music. The Dolmen band was on last night, good Celtic tunes. It&#39;s a solid local spot for that.

The &pound;45 lunch set was pretty good value. The crab parfait on sourdough was lovely, and the sea bass in butter sauce was cooked just right. Service was fine, though the room felt a little warm.

I keep coming back for that vegan breakfast. The mushrooms are always so flavourful, and the avocado on the side is perfectly ripe. Just a solid, tasty start to the day.

These pancakes were so pretty, almost too nice to eat! The texture was spot on - fluffy but not dry. Went really well with my latte, which had a nice strong kick. A bit on the sweet side for me, but still a lovely little treat.

Nice, relaxed spot. The blues music playing in the background really adds to the vibe, makes it a comfortable place to just sit and eat. The booths are pretty cosy too.

Found this little spot by chance. The free starter was a nice surprise, and my main was huge - couldn&#39;t finish it! Staff were really friendly, not too fussy.

As a vegan, I was a bit nervous but the pad Thai was spot on. The staff really knew their stuff about the ingredients, which put me at ease. A solid choice for a casual dinner with friends.

Valet parking was a nice touch. The Miami-style vibe inside is spot on. Just a shame the roast was only beef or pork, no chicken.

First time here and it&#39;s such a friendly spot. The staff are lovely and made me feel right at home. The coffee was fantastic, and I really appreciated how comfortable the seating was. A nice, relaxing place for a quiet cup.

The lunch deal is solid - starter, main and a drink for a fair price. The calamari really stood out, crispy batter and tender inside. A good, straightforward meal.

Decent spot with solid vegan/vegetarian choices. Had the plant-based burger - it&#39;s not an afterthought, they put effort into it. Good for a business lunch if you need that option.

The birria tacos and loaded fries at Loco Lime were a solid choice. What I really liked was the space itself&mdash;the high ceilings and those big industrial-style windows made it feel really open and airy while we ate.

Curried goat is solid, like my mum&#39;s. Good flavour. Staff are friendly. Got my food in under 10 mins, perfect for a quick lunch.

A nice spot with a soft play upstairs for the kids. It&#39;s a thoughtful touch that makes the meal much more relaxed for us parents. The staff were very friendly about it all.
