So I want to Blue Jay Bar yesterday for furmeet event, the venue is really lovely inside with a lot of space for furries and it is well designed including upstairs. Now I haven’t tried the food sadly but I been hearing is lovely and staff are great too. The only problems I seen is some of lights don’t work or some are flickering which I’m sure does be fixed soon and me & my friend did notice upstairs the ventilator is leaking. But all in all, I well come to this place again (for furmeet obviously) I will give update on this review with the food when I’m going to try them, I see you all again soon. Also have photo of me in my friends fursuit.

I had a delightful dining experience at Blue Jay Bar and Kitchen. The service was impeccable, and I appreciate the transparency in both service charges and food declarations. The staff's attentiveness and the clear information about the menu contributed to a wonderful meal. I look forward to returning for another enjoyable visit.

The food was absolutely delicious, the portions are big including the starters but I was very impressed. Anything we couldn’t finish we had packed away for us so we could finish later on. Which we did and the taste was still beautiful. The drinks we had was nice and strong and just how we like it. The staff was very friendly and the waiter we had was very polite and helpful. We went later on in the evening 7:30pm so it was only maybe 2 other tables there but that’s definitely not a complaint. I would recommend this to anyone and me and my partner will definitely be returning again in the new year.

Went in for a meal before a show at the arena next door, seemed pretty empty when we went in, got shown to a table, and then forgotten about for 20 minutes, had to go to the bar twice to get someone to come over and take our order. All seemed fine, but then took 50 minutes for food to come out, even though the place wasn’t that busy. Had to ask about it several times, saw that tables who had come in after us were being served food before us. Eventually got food, most was fine, but the pepperoni pizza was the worst I’ve ever had, dripping in fat and oil, and tasted rubbery, only had a few slices. All in all a very bad experience, get the feeling they’re massively understaffed. While we were there two tables got up and walked out complaining that their chicken was raw and not cooked. Definitely wouldn’t recommend.

Came to this venue for an event and had an amazing time. Drinks and food were much cheaper than comparable places in town with a great selection to choose from. Service was fast, staff were polite, and the atmosphere was great. The location is tucked away in town so unfortunately this place gets missed by a lot of people.

Ordered drinks... menu was basic, and did not advertise allergens. We were also not asked about allergens. Never offered water so water glasses stayed empty on the table. Ordered food, waited 70 minutes for the food which never showed. Left without eating.

Service can be slow at times but servers are incredibly polite and happy to do anything for you - quality of food from tapas menu is exceptional: well-presented and lovely taste.

Never ever again going to visit the place again. Been treated by the staff poorly. Get your staffs’ attitude and rude behaviour out and treat customers with decency and respect.

Absolutely terrible service feel so unwelcomed soon as me and my boyfriend walked in we made a reservation at 8:30 told the one waiter that we booked who looked shocked and didn’t know anything about it was constantly stared at by him then took a while to get menus and then soon as we go and order refuses service and kicks me and my boyfriend out because he’s 18. Apparently it’s an over 19s restaurant which I’ve never heard of such a thing no signage or anything to show this policy. He even made a reservation online which asked for id and allowed him to book so they would’ve known this wasn’t even made aware of it until after we sat down we got home to look at reviews to see that it’s not an under 19 restaurant as it’s “family & kid friendly” absolutely shocking service and treatment towards me and my boyfriend will never go there again especially after the feeling we both got from the staff who made us feel very uncomfortable

Great place to eat. Delicious Vegan options, nice vibe and friendly staff. We went Friday evening before a gig at the International arena. Only slight gripe I had was the service was a little slow. It was really quiet too so would expect it to be quicker. But they more than made up for it in every other area. I'd highly recommend the Vegan mushrooms and the Vegan Cauliflower dish. Although beware if you don't like hot food as the cauliflower dish had a little kick which I didn't expect but was really good nonetheless.

The menu's we were given didn't mention the Tapas deal, but did have some dishes with asterisks and a note at the bottom that said they were excluded from the 4 for £25 offer. Because of this contradiction we asked our waiter if the tapas deal was on or not. He told us that it was, but the two dishes marked with stars were excluded. We spent some time deciding, only for a different member of staff who took our order to tell us the deal wasn't on that day. We mentioned that the other member of staff had told us it was, and then for some reason they went and brought the manger and the other member of staff to our table so we could have an awkward conversation about who said what and why there was confusion. Completely unnecessary. We then took some more time to order something else from the menu. In the meantime our drinks arrived, and those of us who had ordered soft drinks found that they had been watered down to the point that they tasted disgusting. We could tell just by looking at the colour of them that this was the case. When our food arrived, the waiter asked if we wanted any sauces or anything. We asked for some salt. He came back with a cup of tomato ketchup. The food wasn't too bad. Sweet potato fries very nice, burgers good, tikka masala decent. We wanted some other drinks during our meal, one of our party went up to the bar during our meal because no members of staff ever came to check on us. He returned after 10 minutes fed up of waiting at the bar. After our meal it took forever to get the bill. We decided against desert because we were bored of waiting at this point. It took us a total of 1 hour 45 minutes to have just a main course. Overall, pros: * Nice decor * Convenient location * Decent food Cons: * Confusing menus with some staff saying one thing and some saying another * Awful watered down drinks * Not enough staff for how busy the place was * Slow slow slow

Place looks nice, don't be deceived. Table of 8 booked for food, ordered food 35 minutes after sitting down. It had taken 20 minutes between first person being served their main meal between the next person being served. And then another 30 minutes for thr final 3 people to be served. Incorrect orders for main meals, and then when asked when food will be served we were told "it'll be here shortly" then when we had asked about discount on the final bill they magically appeared with the remaining food. Which was wrong, sweet chilli sauce on the nachos instead of salsa.... said they'd give us discount off the bill but only took off the bacon add-ons off the burger orders. Save yourself from a terrible service and go McDonald's! ABSOLUTE JOKE!

My husband was given a Groupon voucher for his birthday for this restaurant. We booked a table but then had to cancel which I did over the phone and let them know we had a voucher. No problem they said just show us the voucher when you want to come. They redeemed the voucher even though we had not been to the restaurant. We phoned and I visited them in person to ask why they had redeemed it and they promised to sort it out. Nothing has happened and they have been very dishonest by redeeming it and my husband has missed out on £50 worth of food and drink.

The worst experience I have ever had in my entire life for hospitality. If there was an option available for it, I'd give this facility Zero stars. Me and a friend booked a table here a week in advance for a local event. We turned up on time to be seated. We were ignored by FOUR members of staff, waiting 10 minutes until I had to approach one and ask to be seated. After being sat a table, we waited over ten minutes to be acknowledged to attempt at making our order. That member for staff got pulled away by who I believe to be a manager, for us to be told '2 minutes please'. After 20 minutes, no one came back. The fact you call yourself a Kitchen is beyond a joke.

Dreadful service. Ordered food and drinks together food came and was reasonable but not great drinks however..... after our food came I went to the bar to ask where our drinks were.... it was chaos ! There was 1 person serving so the waiter was helping with people just wanting drink whilst people who had ordered with food seemed to be being ignored. I asked when our drinks would be with us and was told 2 mins, 5 mins later I went back to the bar only to find the same waiter was serving another person. He had no idea what he was doing and said I was next, then promptly served another woman at the other end of the bar..... then when I complained he made it put that it was my fault and I shouldn't be complaining. I said we had been waiting for 45 mins for out drinks and the guy behind me said he had been waiting for an hour.! We asked for the bill which cane but was not pur so we lift cash on the table and left. The place is a joke.

1st visit: Popped in just to see what it was like, lovely staff and wine. Only had two starters, texas chicken wings were nice but must have been quail wings, Absolutely tiny. Chicken tikka nice flavour but dry and strange oil salsa as a dip. Decor and atmosphere strange, had a laugh. 2nd visit: Had a Groupon voucher and decided to try some curries, had the the chicken tikka and lamb rogan josh, both Absolutely stunning! proper authentic taste, can't think of any I've had that's better! Decor still needs changing, get rid of the awful green walls and will massively improve this place, would also just focus on the curries! Upped my rating from 3 to 4 👍

I went here with my boyfriend the other night. First of all I would like to say that the place looks amazing! It has lovely decor which looks very new and modern and it had drawn us in straight away. I found out about this place on Groupon which is an app I regularly use, they had a tapas deal on which was 4 tapas for 2 people. When we walked in and I noticed that there was only one front of house staff member working which is crazy for such a huge Venue! We were stood for about 10-15 minutes before being seen to as the waiter was obviously very busy on his own but then were finally seated. We sat for another 10 minutes with the menu and then our drinks order was taken, we waited for our drinks for another 20 minutes and then our food order was taken. So far we had been there for 30 minutes and only had our drinks without our food order taken. when ordered our food, it took about 35 minutes to come and the food was okay but not worth the wait unfortunately. The waiter we had was very friendly and I think he did his best with the situation he was in being the only front of house staff member. I ordered the Mini stuffed Naan which you can either get stuffed with lamb mince or cheese. I asked if I could get it with both lamb mince and cheese but apparently that wasn't possible for some reason?! Not sure why? I said I would pay the difference so I wasn't too impressed with that, I think it isn't very good customer service. I chose to get lamb mince but I was very disappointed with it. The lamb mince wasn't lamb mince it was more like a paté and you get hardly any filling, it didn't have much flavour either, very bland and disappointing. The sauce that comes with it is nice though but quite spicy so it's good if you are into spicy foods. The other dish I ordered was the pulled pork fries which were by far the best dish that we ordered. They were lovely, the pulled pork was gorgeous so I highly recommend that dish! My boyfriend ordered the Chicken dumplings but we weren't overally impressed. I love dumplings, they are one of my favourite foods but they weren't very warm and the sweet chilli sauce didn't go very well with the dish, they weren't overally flavourful either. I think if they had a soy sauce and sesame oil dip with some sesame seeds on the top then it would give the dish a much better flavour Asian flavour. The other dish my boyfriend ordered was the lamb koftas, which came with peppers and onions which were lovely, and a Poppadom which was freshly fried and tasty but again the sweet chilli dip didn't go with the dish and the lamb koftas needed more seasoning because they were a bit bland. Even though the food seasoning and quality wasn't great the presentation was very good! I won't be coming back until this place makes some changes, I think this restaurant needs to hire more front of house staff and make some changes to the menu and food (mostly more seasoning and better quality ingredients) but I think this place could be a great restaurant with the right changes.

The food here is very good. The problem is the slowness of service. Only 6 tables occupied when I was there on the last 2 occasions. 2 bar staff and 3 waiting staff but it took about 10 minutes for 2 bottled beers and a glass of wine to arrive, each time with ordered the wine with a dash of lemonade (I know, horrendous) and each time no lemonade. We went in a Groupon deal and they are missing out on further sales as they did not come back to see if all was ok with the meal or if we needed any further drinks. It's a big place and has the potential to be great but they need to get the service better.

Really sad to write this review as we are never ones to complain, however, we honestly feel that we have never had worse service anywhere before. We waited a long time to be seated, by someone who barely acknowledged our presence. We were seated only with drinks menus and then when the food menu came we were told by the waiter that the 6 for £30 tapas deal (advertised on the website) was not on this evening. Our food came, which was nice, but the server failed to bring any cutlery. We had to wander around to find a member of staff, who we could ask for some. We asked for the bill at the end and noone came for 10 mins so we had to get up and find someone else so that we could pay. Genuinely the worst customer service we've ever experienced. A real shame. We came to eat and enjoy the rugby on the screens, but instead we ended up rushing our food so we could leave sooner and ended up missing 20mins to get home to watch.

Fantastic food and drinks. Had 6 tapas dishes, all so well cooked and fresh! Not the quickest service bit the food made up for that! 2 cocktails for £12, bargain! Again took a while to arrive but they were lovley!. Friendly staff.

We made a table reservation in advance, we queued to get in for 20 minutes! I walked in to see if any staff were around to help us, I can appreciate the bar staff were busy but no one was on the floor to help. When the people in front of us decided to give up on waiting and left, we looked at the front stand where the menu is to see the reservations printed out on full display. Is that normal practice to have customers names and details out on display for anyone walking in to see despite being a complete breach of GDPR? Needless to say, we left.

Had booked but rather chaotic when we arrived and waited for best part of an hour for any drinks or food. Didn't get the table booked. Food OK, but sadly not good enough to be worth the wait. Service was poor, friendly enough, but some staff seemed very new and a bit overwhelmed. Cooks had dishes ready which sat for ages before served. Was after rugby but needed better organised. Will not be first choice in the future.

Loved this place! Booked for 25 people, 40th birthday meal, and everyone loved it! The food is delicious, cocktails were the best we've had! Great atmosphere nice deco felt relaxed. The service was great, Miguel & Josh were very helpful. Special thanks to the floor manager Patricia she is great at her job and made our experience here perfect. Definitely recommend it and would definitely visit again! Thanks

Understaffed but great food and drinks. The venue is way too big for the number of guests they have seated at one time. Very strange feel inside as the decor felt off and parts felt really empty and almost half finished. BUT the food was great and very reasonably priced as we're the drinks. One huge downfall is no system in place to tip unless you have cash? Given how hard true skeleton staff work this is the least the management could do to reward such hard working staff. Most systems let you do this on your pdq machine whilst paying the bill?

Tasteless. No seasoning. Completely bland. Read other reviews, most good reviews are from people ordering burgers. All of the good BBQ meats you want to try at a place like this have as much flavor as a glass of water 😭 We tried ..... Pulled pork Ribs Brisket Plus a few sides Incredibly quiet there too which tells a story of its own

Terrible!!! I went to celebrate my birthday but it was horrible!!! Second time I've been to the place, the first time was tragic and the second time was terrible!!! I chose the location because I imagined a more Latin style, I imagined that the name would also be the name, but NO. There are no Latin songs even if you REQUEST THE DJ he won't play!!! Not a place for us Latinos!!! Please don't frequent
