Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

The spot is great the food simple but. Tasty our reservation was 21:00-11:00 When we arrived they inform us than the kitchen is closed in a few minutes so to order very quickly.we were the only customers. the staff was constantly collecting and fixing things...in a small space At 10 they said something to us if we mind paying until 10:30. We felt that we were bothering, we didn't enjoy our exit. If they don't want to work until 11:00 then why they make reservations???More

Fantastic food and great service. A very nice setting I had the fillet and my colleagues had the rump. Everybody really enjoyed the food and reasonably priced too. We will be back.

After reading all the positive reviews about this restaurant we were really looking forward to our visit for my sons birthday. We were quite disappointed with the experience and the service. In an adjoining room they were hosting a large birthday party and we felt...we were neglected as a result. Our service was very limited and rushed. The staff were not very friendly and seemed gruff. We asked for a jug of water three times before it came. After we ordered we were told they had run out of rib eye steaks and then when the food arrived were told they had run out of sirloins. My husband steak was tough. My lamb was tasty however and the vegetables were good. Everyone enjoyed their chips but we were just underwhelmed. To their credit the restaurant didn’t charge us for the fourth meal but our overall experience wasn’t great. I had the feeling that this was a great place but we did not see the best of them last night.More

My wife and I visited during a stopover in Coventry having seen other reviews. This is a fabulous place in a characterful building, with a limited but high quality menu, great friendly staff …. if we lived in Coventry we would definitely visit multiple times...as there was so much on the menu which was appealing. My wife’s sea bass and my sirloin were absolutely perfect. I tend to only write reviews when I have received an exceptional experience …. this was one of those occasions. It was a Thursday evening and there were quite a few unused tables - this place deserves to be full every night.More

We had the ribeye steak and fries which was just great. Excellent service by a charming young lady. In my opinion, the best place to enjoy a steak in the whole of Coventry. The wine list is a bit limited but the Malbec is a...good choice of red.More

Went here for a Saturday night out with family, we have visited a few times before. And as usual the overall experience of both food, service was spot on. Nothing pretentious about the place, just good honest food served in a nice atmosphere. Definitely worth...a visit, we will definitely visit again ourselves. Good night all round. Thankyou.More

We’ve been 3 times now for a Sunday roast, each a few weeks/months apart. The food is fantastic every time. Really good value for money. The staff are brilliant, really welcoming and friendly.

The Sunday roast is by far the best roast dinner in Coventry and surrounding areas. The beef is cooked perfectly, roast potatoes are like home cooked which you never get in a restaurant. The veg is perfectly cooked, and finished off with really tasty gravy....Almost forgot the yorkshire puddings which are also perfect. This place is consistently good! Staff are great too!More

Fancied steak and was not disappointed. Lovely cosy restaurant with friendly staff. Steak very tasty, soft and tender, and cooked medium rare as requested. The chips and sides were also very good. Cheese board was huge and plenty for us to share one. Really enjoyed...the experience.More

Prawns very over done. No real skill involved. Just parawns! The pork starter was pretty basic as well. Although my partner liked the croquettes. The lamb main was served what was called salsa verde but tasted off and almost like mint and vinegar from a...jar. It was vile. We were starving so we ate what we could. I had the seabass. The fish was nice but that was it. The new pots had no seasoning, there was no sauce. The prawns were like bullets. I'm gonna guess the chef doesn't work on Mondays because it was a 2/10 from both of us. The price of £80 one one and 1 coke. This isn't good enough won't bother coming back.More

Once again a humungous thank you to Leigh and all his staff for today's dinner. I was treated by my son Phil to a take-away dinner for Mother's day. Roast lamb... which was so tender (and tasty) that it fell apart as my fork went...in, beautiful roast potatoes, cabbage, peas and carrots cooked to perfection (but I don't know how the are cooked as they have a super taste), homemade Yorkshire pudding topped with rich lamb gravy. The Artisan dinners and meals are well worth trying so that you can taste excellent food for yourselves. Once again a huge thank you... feeling well stuffed and satisfied nowMore

The wooden boards are all treated and do not absorb any juices. They are however being phased out and you can choose to have you steak on a presentation plate instead.
