After visiting the new St Andrew Square venue in January, the couple had praised the "outstanding service" from staff, but explained the food wasn't up to scratch.

Sharing their review on TripAdvisor, the pair said they had been visiting for a 30th birthday, and had been impressed with their starters.

However, after treating themselves to the pricey wellington, it eventually arrived very well done, when the couple had requested it to be medium rare.

The review explained: "We ordered the beef wellington medium rare however when it arrived it was pretty much well done so we where really disappointed with this as it took around 45 minutes to come and costs £100 so would expect this to be perfect for the cost.

"When we complained about this we where advised we would have to wait a further 45 minutes for a new one so decided to get the steaks which where good but nothing special."

On reflection, the couple said management had handled the situation "very well", but addd that if the food had been cooked to their liking they "would have scored five stars."
