I have driven past this place on the way to a different restaurant previously and it looked modern & really busy so I thought we would give it a try. I will start with the positive. The food was really nice, the restaurant is smart and clean. Even though you have to purchased sides separately, they are generous portions. But… Booked the table for 4:45 pm and arrived to a half full restaurant. We were taken straight to table, seated and given a drinks menu. Nobody came back with the menus or to take an order for our drinks for over 10 minutes. What we observed in that time was that this was not down to a lack of staff, just a lack of active staff. We could see other people trying to get the attention of the waiting staff. Over the course of our meal, we observed numerous people either going to the bar to get their own drinks as they couldn’t attract the attention of a server, or to go and collect their own drink off the side of the bar because no one had bought it over, we also saw numerous people going to the bar to settle their bill for the same reason. One of the other reviews I have read on TripAdvisor has mentioned the same thing, that the waiting staff and service seems disorganised and I would have to agree. Point to note, on the receipt of the bill you will see that they have added their own 10% service charge to it, which on the website states that it is optional but they don’t give you the option when you come to pay. I’m usually happy to tip 10% for good service, which I wouldn’t really say we had, but prefer it to be at my discretion, though this restaurant is not alone in what is now becoming the norm that restaurants see this as an easy way to get more out of the customer wether it’s deserved or not.

Very poor baguettes here. I was expecting a nice crusty French type baguette and what I received was a large hot dog roll.

I have visited a few times here for drinks with friends but today was the first time trying the Sunday lunch. Everything was perfect, the best Sunday lunch I've had for a while (the roast potatoes were amazing!) The staff were friendly, attentive and made us both feel welcome, thank you so much, ill definitely be back soon!

My experience with The Hide was somewhat of a mixed bag. Let me explain. My partner and I decided to go here for our anniversary - we are both big steak fans and wanted to try something new. Upon arriving, the restaurant was very quiet - for a Tuesday I expect this and it served us well. The lady who served us was nice, if a little clueless about what they did/didn't sell but more on that later. We sat down at a window table and was pleasantly surprised by how lovely the whole restaurant looked from where we were sitting. We decided on a corner-window seat as we didn't know how full the place would get later and didn't want to get in the way. I sat directly in the corner and was slightly dismayed to see that I had sat DIRECTLY under a speaker. It was rather loud and I had to raise my voice higher than normal to be heard by my partner sitting only 3 feet away. The server came to take our drinks order, and this is where things started to sour slightly for me. As a steak fan, I am also a huge fan of a good red wine to go with it. I asked the server "What wines do you have?" her response..."Red, White and Rose" - I couldn't help but chuckle slightly, so I asked what reds she had, she didn't know. The first thing any server should know is what they are serving, what is available and how much it is, she knew none of these things and instead had to go across the restaurant to the till, to check. She came back to me there was a Shiraz, Malbec and Merlot - not exactly a billionaire's banquet as you can see, but I reluctantly got the Shiraz - it was vile. I then got a pint of some-thing or other, and that tasted lovely. Partner got a gin and a cider, and again, no complaints there. Next comes the food. Like so many, we had looked online to see what was available and had chosen our meal, when we arrived, very little of it was available and for a 'steakhouse' the choice was rather lacking. We looked at the "menu" - which was a small piece of white paper with some items on it and appeared to have seen better days. For an establishment as outwardly beautiful as this, it was a big let-down to be handed a flyer - rather ruins the atmosphere in my opinion. We both got a rump with all the trimmings and a calamari starter - no complaints there, food was lovely, steak was cooked to perfection and the trimmings were delicious even if the peppercorn was slightly too peppery for my tastes. We had a great time there listening to the slow atmospheric music which was being played - if rather loudly and paid for our meal. The meal came to around £80, which was more than reasonable for what we had. My last point of contention is with the server's behaviour as we left. We started to make our way over to the door to leave, and she barely looked up from her phone to say goodbye - found this rather rude considering there was no-one else in the restaurant. All in all, a rather mixed experience. I would go again, but I would sit in a different place and lower my expectations going forwards. Special mention to the chef however, as he was lovely and came to see how our food was - you don't see that nowadays and it was a welcome addition to our experience. Probably see you again on Valentine's Day The Hide, even if the experience wasn't an overwhelmingly positive one, I believe you can do better and I look forward to seeing you try.

We visited Ego’s for my sister’s engagement party whilst the food was good the service was not at all. “Service with a smile” well that was quite the opposite on this occasion very moody staff members telling customers “I want to go home”. We didn’t let this ruin our night but we will not be returning due to the poor customer service.

What a place... Went for my birthday, never had a bottomless brunch before, this being my first experience and loved it. The friendliness of staff, that 'your important to us' certainly shone through. Great choice of drinks, fabulous atmosphere, music, even karaoke. What a wonderful, friendly, homely place, highly recommended. Nothing is too much for the staff who went above and beyond making our visit unforgettable. Food is homemade and delicious. Thank you all. We will be back xx
