Service was impeccable. Fried Haddock was perfectly crisped but the mushy peas underneath it were our favorite part of our dinner. Wonderful cocktails, too!

Staff were friendly and unobtrusive, and the food was fantastic. The carrot starter - who knew the humble carrot could taste so good. The cast iron fillet steak was so tender and full of flavour. On the pricier side, but you get what you pay for, and portion sizes were generous.

Fabulous! Waiters looked after us & found a bigger table when extra people joined us - the ambiance was great both upstairs & downstairs and the wine choices & price were excellent 😀 We didn’t have any food so can’t comment on that but had to put a star in to let us leave a review …
