Upon arrival we were greeted by a lovely host who took us to our table. We were seated next to the open kitchen which was brilliant to watch the chefs at work, you can see the attention to detail and care that is poured into every dish. We had a second host who was explained the menu to us and was super friendly and attentative. We went for the master menu and it did not disappoint. If you haven't been here before I definitely recommend it has a bit of everything and is displayed on a beautiful wooden board. The only thing I think that should be different I. My opinion is the starter. The arranchini balls, I feel they should be on one of the corners nearest the table as I struggled to pop them on my plate. The food was incredible and did not disappoint. All in all I had an amazing experience and would definitely recommend going to visit.
Fun and flavorsome dinner venue for a special outing, if a bit pricey overall. We had been here once for lunch, and enjoyed it then, and the menu has now changed a bit. The flavours seemed more cohesive and punchy generally and we really liked the cocktails.
One suggestion I'd change is the menu guidance of three to four dishes per person. They mostly range from 6 to around 12 pounds, and depending on your appetite, you might be fine with two.
The vegetarian options were a little less delicious than the meaty ones, although the 'cauliflower bang bang' was a standout and I'd definitely come back for it again.
Ambiance in the restaurant is dark hued and stylish.
Our table was towards the front and caught some of the draught when other customers came in.
The bill for three people was just over 180 with drinks and dessert. Everything is tasty, it feels right for a special occasion, but the prices might put it on a similar level to restaurants (not necessarily in Cheltenham) with a more creative, unique approach.
The napkins that magically expand in warm water were a great touch, by the way.

Really enjoyed this restaurant visit. We popped in looking for a light lunch and a place to chat. Our first impression walking in was that this establishment was too opulent and formal for our needs. However, once seated, we quickly warmed to this place. There was a good selection of wines by the glass and the two we had were both good quality. We were recommended to have 2-3 dishes each and therefore ordered a selection of different dishes. We enjoyed them all with the wings the stand out dish for us. The food was of high quality and very tasty. We felt full and very satisfied when we left.
The service just needs to be a bit less formal at lunchtimes and a bit more relaxed.
