Me and two of my friends went out for something quick to eat and drink. The food was fabulous and the service was quick and very pleasant. The atmosphere was lovely. Couldn't be happier. We've had the charcuterie board, smashed potatoes and spicy king prawns. All were top-notch 👌

Wonderful experience at Aye for my fiancé's 30th birthday! Lovely setting inside. So comfortable and has a very chilled vibe. Food was delicious ! We did a mixture of a lot of different dishes. We got slow cooked lamb bon bons, crispy chicken, crispy confit duck, king prawn pil pil and a side of potato terrine bites. We got a complimentary portion of bread , vinegar oil and garlic butter. All the food was so fresh and tasty. Our server was a lovely lady who was extremely attentive and friendly. We went at 4pm and it was very quiet. Things picked up around 6pm and got more vibrant. Depending on weather you want peace and quiet or a bit of an atmosphere choose your timing accordingly. Price below includes all food, 3 glasses of wine and 4 bottles of Heineken zero ! Amazing value for this day and age

A lovely spot with a heated outdoor space, more staff during busy times would be appreciated. It's the nature of cocktail bars but being served can take a while
