While the cocktails are praised, the food receives mixed reviews, with some finding it sub-par for the premium Sandbanks prices. A stylish and amazing new venue on the Sandbanks strip with a great, relaxed atmosphere. The new staff are very friendly and professional, often going above and beyond to fix any mix-ups. Food quality does not consistently live up to the high prices expected in this area.

Takeaway portions are reported to be notably small, with some broths lacking flavour. It functions as an accessible local option for ordering out. Details on the in-house service are limited based on current feedback. Takeaway orders can suffer from very small portion sizes and lackluster taste.
