  1. Delightful

    We arrived early and the staff was still setting up. We were made very welcomed and asked to take a seat in the bar area. They offered whatever we wanted to drink. Once the dome was ready, we were then moved to the dome. The staff were very attentive and we have only knocked off 1 star because the call button did not work. The food was fantastic and drinks were reasonable. The margaritas were very refreshing and our entire group of 6 people really enjoyed the experience In the dome with own Bluetooth speaker and lights.

  2. Excellent food as usual. The outside domes give a more relaxed, private and personal dining experience. The staff are very helpful and polite. Look forward to our next visit.

  3. Outstanding Service!

    server was amazing and so attentive to our needs.

The food was fantastic and the staff were so helpful, friendly and really went out their way to make it special. Would recommend anyone to visit. Thanks for making my daughters birthday special.

    The place, the staff and the food was sensational!
    Very helpful, warm, on call buzzer, own music for Bluetooth speaker, cocktails were great too
    Defo will be back felt so special

  9. First time dining in this restaurant and booking out one of the
    domes. The staff were lovely and very attentive. Me and my boyfriend had the
    mixed grill and it was cooked beautifully, with some cocktails to finish.
    Would highly recommend to anyone and will be back!

  10. The second time we’ve dined here, just as good as the first. Love the ‘dome’ concept, good food and fantastic service. We’ll be back.

  11. We had a table booked for a 40th Birthday in the outside domes last night and it was an incredible experience. Everything went smoothly from start to finish, food and drink was thoroughly enjoyed by all. We would like to point out the service in particular which was exemplary. We were served by the lovely Agnes who was very friendly, efficient and went above and beyond to ensure we had the best possible experience. All other staff we came into contact were fantastic too. It is for this reason mainly that we will 100% return. Thank you!

  12. Had a really lovely night something a bit different, food was
    lovely just 1 very small complaint there was a slight smell , maybe add in a
    we diffuser , but we will definitely be returning and have recommended it to
    all my friends look forward to our next visit

  13. Lovely Experience

    My partner booked this for my birthday.
    The experience was unique and lovely and I really enjoyed our time in the dome.
    My only two complaints were that although it states in the information that each booking will be dealt with individually and someone would be in touch, there was no contact made at any point. This was for my last birthday in my 30s so a little theming would have been appreciated and made it even more special. My partner had booked this as a surprise and he had unfortunately missed this detail. The domes are nicely decorated anyway but some personal extra touches would have really added to the occasion.
    Also we were a little disappointed that it was only the festive menu. I had made choices from the main A La Carte menu in advance of our arrival and the festive menu was very limited in comparison and we both ended up choosing dishes we were not overly excited about. That said, the food was lovely.
    Also we had a lovely waiter looking after us. I’m awful with names but he was from Italy and he was great.
    If someone was looking to book this experience I would definitely recommend to them. It was still a lovely experience and we made the most of our time there.
    It is unlikely to be an experience I would personally repeat, but this is more down to the costs involved and I feel once was enough.

  14. taff great. Food great and experience great.

  15. We had a great server who made our birthday lunch special. Many Thanks

  16. I don’t usually leave reviews for restaurants however I feel it’s necessary , we went for my boyfriends birthday and I was a bit hesitant to get a steak with it not being a steak restaurant but honestly myself, my bf & his dad all got steaks and we haven’t stopped speaking about how amazing it was, my bf mum got the pasta and ordered side of Mac n cheese and the Mac and cheese was the best Mac and cheese I’ve ever tasted, we live south lanarkshire and it’s about 30 mins for us to get there but we all said today we 100% will be back!

  17. Had 2 Domes booked for afternoon tea as a celebration for my sisters 50th birthday. Everything was fabulous, can’t recommend enough. Visitors from Belfast were with us and loved it!

  18. Highly recommended!

    Booked a dome for my best friend’s birthday. Would highly recommend this place. Amazing staff- Thankyou Elana, Danny and Sammy for
    being so helpful and so pleasant. Absolutely made our day with the great service!
    Excellent food!
    6 stars!!

  19. We had a ball at your dome it was unusual in a nice way. Service
    was great and your staff made us welcome and there attention to us was above and beyond thank you

  20. Great value for money

    Dome was very cosy and had a lovely atmosphere. It was also easy
    to operate the electricals inside ie. Heater and Bluetooth Speaker. The food
    was incredible. The service from the staff was amazing especially Sami and Alessio.

  21. We came to celebrate my husbands birthday. Our two young children came along and both loved the dome. David and the team were all wonderful at explaining how everything worked in the dome and always being on hand if we needed anything. We really enjoyed the different way to dine and found it lots of fun. The food was brilliant and portions really generous even the kids menu. Everything was spotless in the dome, beautiful cushions and blankets were provided to use if required however we found with the dyson heaters the dome became very cosy very quickly. Thanks for a wonderful meal and beautiful setting!

  22. Amazing experience

    Went here on my leaving night from work. The staff were so lovely, they went above and beyond for us. Pod was amazing, came with fan, heater, blankets charger and speaker. The food was delicious best steak I’ve ever had 😋

  23. Amazing

    Amazing experience, staff were so lovely and helpful you’re made to feel so welcome and at home, food was 10/10. Would 100% go back, perfect for a special occasion.

  24. Fabulous

    An enjoyable unique experience in one of the pods for my daughters 21st Birthday, before going onto seeing Coldplay. There was one little niggle and that was my daughters steak wasn’t cooked how she liked it, however once we pointed it out it was soon rectified and overall had a fabulous meal. Thankyou David and all the staff.

  25. Pod dining was new to us- really private and great if you just
    want some time out . Very comfortable, we were really well looked after,
    David was the perfect host. Really lovely dining experience- food was lovely-
    well presented and quality ingredients- for something different I would
    recommend the Burrata.

  26. Amazing food amazing staff

    David the owner went all out for us so welcoming and friendly we have been a lot of places for dinner and this was 10/10 food and service will be back
