Artisan Cocktail Grill - Ryde

Great food and super service.Our booking was accepted online but they were already fully booked, however the manager squeezed us in and even gave us a free round of drinks. The food was amazing and the steak board is a must if you’re a meat lover, great value at £23.00.

Possibly the most banal, slow serving, approximate place I've visited in Ryde. No cocktail was harmed in writing this review: I'll talk about the food. Don't get me wrong, the ambiance is well cured and the place looks nice. Nothing to complain there. The place decides to put on the menu some pub classics like fish and chips. Great, exactly what you'd expect in Ryde! As you can see form the picture, not only the cod was average, the chips were overcooked and rather dry. Additionally: no tartar sauce, slightly undercooked peas, total absence of salt, peeler, vinegar etc made this experience forgettable. The mussels were ok-ish, but the sauce they came with was overpowering compared to the rather bland taste of the mussels itself. Ah: we waited 13 minutes for our drinks. In a cocktail place that works as a pub. Good beer selection, at least. You'd be better off eating somewhere else. Maybe come here for cocktails. Maybe.

Overall wasn't what i thought it would be like. Few things were incorrect after being ordered correctly. Cocktails were nice but had to wait an eternity to get them. Waited nearly an hour before they took our food order and had to be prompted twice to do that. Food overall wasnt anything special. Chicken burger was fatty, like a thigh had been used, when that wasnt mentioned on the menu. Steak sharer was dry and not much taste or depth to anything. If you are going just for cocktails then you will enjoy them but add food into the mix and it is a different experience. Won't be visiting again

A while back I went here for my mum and aunts birthday. The cocktails were lovely and the staff very friendly. We all had 2 courses. The starters were okay bit my aunt was unwell after the meal. For mains we all had the seafood pasta. It was awful. Hardly any seafood. It just tasted like pasta and cream. It was a very disappointing night. We had been here previously and had nice food. After complaining we were offered the opportunity to come back for cocktails and two courses as a replacement. Once again the cocktails were lovely and our waitress was very lovely. Our starters were all very nice. However, once again the mains were a let down. I had the steak board. The meat was stone cold. My mother's pork was Luke warm. I complained and were told our drinks bill would be discounted. But they tried to over charge us instead. Last time they also tried to over charge us too. Both times when we queried the bill they agreed they had got it wrong. I would be tempted to go back for cocktails, but would examine the bill closely. I don't think any of us would eat here again. Such a pity because before 3 or 4 months ago the food was nice.

Great place with cool decor and relaxed atmosphere. It wasn 't too busy with a few tables to choose from. Tables were clean and the interior was well laid out. Staff were helpful, friendly and chatty. All of our group were happy with their meals, portions were good and the food well cooked and presented. My daughter said 'the lamb is so tender and even the cabbage tastes great! ' The upstairs cocktail bar looked really cool and we 'd love to have been able to try it out in the evening (but have the kids). Toilets were downstairs, clean and in good order. All in all very good and well recommended.
