Food was very tasty. We were a party of 6 (included 3 children). No children's menu but that was ok as children are older. Each party member had to order a main course. That was fine, however one member of the party would have liked to have ordered 2 starters instead as he liked the look of them more than the mains. We ordered desserts - very nice. Coffee was ok. A bit on the cool side and didn't have a creamy head. Overall, we enjoyed the occasion. It was a bit on the pricey side but it was a treat. Hope to return again during the summer - to get a view of the city in day light.

Lovely meal but there should be baby changing facilities in all restaurants. I asked about an accessible toilet when I had the buggy and I was told there was none.
