From the moment we arrived, the attention to detail was brilliant. Every member of staff, from reception to the greeter and the waiting team, was attentive, knowledgeable, and kind. The recommendations were fantastic and tailored perfectly to our tastes. The notes we left in advance were taken care of, as were we. Each course was beautifully presented, and the timing between dishes was perfect, allowing us to savour the food and really enjoy the experience. It was lovely to be surrounded by so many people celebrating special occasions. The team were genuinely passionate about the menu and approachable, making for a fantastic atmosphere. We look forward to returning.
