Had a lovely birthday meal with my husband and parents - the food was delicious and the service absolutely on point, caring, friendly and attentive. The Christmas decor is excellently executed - it could so easily be OTT and too much and yet it is exactly enough to be a lot and yet very tasteful and classy - it has all of the magical and festive feel the Christmas spirit should give
