Brief visit to this town and came to this restaurant for lunch. Apparently this was one of the very few restaurants opened in this town centre on Sunday. Placed orders at bar counter and the food came in good time. The wait staff were very friendly.
Lots of Gluten Free options. Healthy and tasty food. Friendly service. Cheeky Monday deal is great value!
We enjoyed a tasty dinner at the Clio Lounge yesterday. The staff were very nice - especially the young gentleman behind the bar - and our orders were served quickly both times. I had the quesadilla with black bean and sweetcorn salsa as an appetizer and some buttermilk fried chicken with maple BBQ sauce as the main course. Unfortunately, the portion of coleslaw was much smaller than I had expected, but the chicken itself was simply fantastic. I treated myself with a sticky toffee pudding later on, which was also very delicious and gooey. However, the music in the dining area could have been a little quieter for our taste. We still had a pleasant stay at the Clio Lounge though and will certainly come back soon.
Good location in the centre, great atmosphere. The food is not great but is okay. The staff were very helpful and friendly.
Absolutely amazing! The people where so kind and warm welcoming. I’m quite a picky eater so i always feel bad about removing stuff but they were happy to do so along side accommodating to my allergy. The food was amazing, i got the Chicken bacon avocado burger and a caramel iced latte! definitely worth the price! Would highly recommend!
