The food and service was exceptional. It was a little crowded as many patrons were going to a show and needed to be served promptly. Next time we will book a table at 7 rather than at 6.

Having been here before for a milestone birthday, we returned for an even more significant milestone birthday, my father’s 80th. The staff were simply awesome, extremely attentive and accommodating. The food was of an excellent standard and each meal - six different mains - was thoroughly enjoyed. Thank you for making ot a great occasion.
