Fantastic night. Wine super and Ghislain was so informative and knowledgeable about all the wines. Met lots of great people and the food so complimented the wine Staff as usual were very friendly and efficient and Elenor was there with her usual lovely smile. A wonderful evening and will certainly be back for all the excellent value for money wine tasting. I love the Green Room for the great wines and ambiance

Great place great wine and excellent cheese and ham platters. Spoilt by a waitress who’s customer service skills were non existent. No welcome or shown to table, no engagement just surly, kept over attending to one specific table not sure why !! Wasn’t happy when I didn’t have my phone ready to pay contactless, she went away leaving the card machine on my table and I had to go and find her so I could pay. She wouldn’t last five minutes with the attitude she displayed if she was working for me. Put all that aside the green room is excellent

The environment during those difficult times of Covid felt very safe , but more importantly the warm welcome and knowledge from Ghislain were second to none . Will definitely be back

First visit and definately be back great chilled bar and wine was lovely. Great hosts. Was a bit weird for our 1st hour as they seemed to play only 4 or 5 songs in a loop which was a bit irritating as we felt like we were in groundhog day but when bar got busier suddenly music changed and it got easier to relax!will try food nect time too as looked good

Nice surroundings, great service, quiet enough to chat easily, nice wine. Food was nice but a wee bit expensive for the amount provided (maybe that’s a sign of the times). Overall great and just what we wanted.

The olives were superb.
The pitta wrap was good, but adding chips to them?
Also, the heading says ‘Wraps’ but its actually a pitta bread. The pitta was delicious but when I booked I just looked at the word ‘Wrap’ and assumed it was a traditional one ie - soft tortilla.
Also, I booked 1230 assuming lunch, then we get there and the kitchen doesnt open till 2?
I dont know if this was stated anywhere when booking online, I didnt see it.
thanks

Menu at restaurant was completely different to website. Not a huge choice, out of two options at 6pm and plate was basic. Our sausages weren’t cooked, had to return.
Bar service and music great. Would go back but not for food.

Regulars at Di Vin so thought we would give this a go. Very disappointed in cheese and meat platter - not a patch on Di Vin. You really need to up your game on this. We might come for wine but would not spend £30 on 8 pieces of uninspiring cheese and a very average meat platter again here. Appreciate you may be taking your time with interior but still has a bit of an "old mans pub" feel about it. Needs some inspiring décor and better lighting. Overall, we'll come here if Di Vin and L'escargot wine bar (west end) are full, but would not be first choice. Improve, and we'll be back!
