Most Disliked
Some patrons have pointed out that, while the food is fantastic, the presentation could use a polish. The idea of mezza boards may enhance the communal sharing experience. Additionally, a few reviews express a desire for more child-friendly menu options, as some young diners might be picky eaters. Finally, the lively atmosphere, while enjoyable, can get a bit loud during peak hours, possibly overwhelming those looking for a quiet evening.

A delightful, jolly, relaxed place to enjoy your meal. Be careful not to order toooooo much as they are good size portions. As a consideration not a critique..........presentation could be on a mezza boards and enjoy informal sharing.......just a thought. Staff great and relaxed bantering is recommended........no stuffiness in sight............just make sure you get the bottle of wine ordered..........(just a joke)..........see you all soon.

A great find, some great dishes with a strong Greek influence. Good size portions and reasonable prices. Visited with two young grand kids. Friendly service giving good instructions on how to order. Highly recommended but they may consider a couple of kids choices for fussy eaters

What a place, we went with friends for a spot of lunch and ended up trying nearly everything on the menu it was that good. Everything was fresh and delicious to the point of tears (well nearly). Well done to all the service was impeccable the beer well kept, a great choice of drinks and the whole place was immaculate 10/10 for the toilets. We had a very memorable lunch and will return next time we visit, thank you all so much.

This was our first visit but definitely not our last. What a wonderful place. Great atmosphere, super friendly. The food was delicious especially the trio of desserts. We over ordered and couldn’t eat it all as we got carried away. The staff were absolutely brilliant. They were young and a credit to themselves and their employer. Looking forward to returning.

What a treat! We wanted a restaurant near to the Pavilion Theatre, and my wife discovered The Shed Bar which is just around the corner. Lovely menu, there’s so much choice, a lovely selection of tapas. Great atmosphere and the staff were great.
