Three of us went for lunch on a Tuesday. Bistro was very busy. Friendly bar and wait staff. Food was lovely, good quality and very large portion sizes. Husband said it was the best steak sandwich he's ever had. Just some suggestions, tables could do with drink coasters and extra serviettes and maybe more table configurations for 3 or 4 people.

This place has become my second home due to the atmosphere & the three amazing staff (Alicia,Keta & Hanaah) who have made me feel welcome & enjoy coming back after a hard days work. Thank you three ladies for your amazing hospitality, let's not forget the great food the chefs have on including the specials & the events they have on constantly on all the screens so you don't miss the action. Looking for a great place to play pool relax or enjoy a social = RB Tavern. This place is also great to meet new people with a friendly attitude & enjoy a good chat 🍻

My family and I came here randomly when looking for a place to eat and we made a very good decision! The service was great, staff were very polite and the food came out so quick! The meals we got were delicious and the portions were generous. The atmosphere was nice too, warm lighting and good music.
