I'd not been here before but wanted somewhere central for a meet up with a couple of friends. I couldn't be more happy with everything. Great cozy atmosphere, really nice decor, our waiter was Ryan and he was just lovely, perfect amount of attentiveness without being too much. The food was gorgeous, we all ordered different things and all were fabulous. Particularly recommend the oysters, scallops and hake. Great night all round, will be back very soon

Great value food with the two-for -22 mains deal, chips were great, good portion size, burger was really good too. Great service, quick and friendly, every member of staff made an effort to smile and say hello as we walked through the restaurant. The Long Island ice tea was lovely, but the star cocktail was the “Royal Oak” signature cocktail with cucumber, a revelation! Vibe was great, decor was really well done and the music was lovely even before the live band came on - who were amazing! Really talented jazz musicians. Highly recommend this place.

100% take a trip to the chop tank..... this review is for the chop tank only, not the royal oak (same building but separate area) Wow, ohh wow, ohhh wow.... so the place is beautifully laid out not to many tables which I loved gave it more of a personable feel and gives the guys more time to concentrate on the tables in hand abd to give the service that is required... The menu is very easy to follow how ever what is not explained is you choose what you want (they are smaller portions) and the chef will choose what goes best with what and bring it out in an order to appease your pallet... its a small plate fine dining place and well by gosh the food in that place is second to none only fault if I had to pic one would be not overly fond on the chunky sweet style chips they have lovly but not a favorite of mine... Oysters, if that's something you plan to go for make sure you call ahead to ensure they have them in... I did the night before, but some greedy table apparently devoured them, so we missed out, but the tempora oasters captaincy made up for that along with the bloody mary shot with one in... ohhhh, my goodness, that's a next level drink highly recommended There's a spiral stair case that leads to an individual toilet room that smells amazing and is very clean and tidy And the main star of the show was the head chef!!! that man really has a passion for food and certainly knows what he is talking about - best place i have been to in some time, hands down, we will be back to visit... I took some pictures of the food we had, so please do enjoy the food porn and take a visit to the chop tank For me and my partner I paid roughly 180 that was for all of the food we had plus an abundance of drinks may of been 2 bottles of wine plus some fancy gins and beers (hey it was a good evening and we were out for his birthday don't judge) I hope this review is helpful to anyone who plans to visit

Updated review: Change in hands since we last came but still an amazing atmosphere and delicious food. Oysters are still here and delicious as always. Some great garnishs, particularly the Asian one. Food was phenomenal, with amazing flavours and combinations I hadn't had before. The presentation of it all and how it was brought out really brought it all together making it a lovely experience. Staff are very friendly and really show their passion in their food which doesn't feel gimmicky nor overwhelming but adds to a great restaurant experience. We will definitely be coming again. We want to try something else off the menu but I don't know, as I was won over by what we had!
