    Ordered the 3 course dego, expecting dego size portions but no! Portions were so generous. Delicious wagyu, fresh seafood. Sides were included, also generous and delicious. We were blown away by the value. Wine list was adequate. Team attentive and polite. Will definitely be back!

    Loved that the team were able to accommodate our 6m old in a pram considering that the walkway is already quite narrow. Nothing was too much trouble.

    Lovely restaurant with good food at a reasonable price. The restaurant is inside the hotel but there is onsite parking for casual guests. My only reason for the 4 rather than 5 rating is that we were asked a few times about charging things to our room. As non-guests, we had to keep explaining that.
