    The menu was varied and what our table ordered offered a good selection of what was available. The food was very well prepared and showed a very good understanding of what went well together. All dishes arrived as expected, with nothing to complain about - every dish looked fabulous and inviting us to dive in! My only gripe about the visit was that the bill perhaps didn’t match what was offered in its entirety. The meal was excellent but expensive. One steak meal was rather pricey for what was not a cut or size which matched the expense. Drinks are not cheap and you will need to be very clear as to what you want as unusual drinks may case confusion. The staff are a credit to the establishment though, and were rapidly awaiting orders and requests. Beware the bill, service was included and quite high too! A good overall experience and one that I’d recommend.

    We were looking for somewhere to eat pre-theatre and this was just the perfect location. We were the only diners and had the full attention of all the staff 😳 Food was very lovely and will certainly return. It is perfect for any occasion. We were even given a tour of the grand rooms that are available to hire for various functions.
