    A very pretty place with lots of lovely decorations. The Christmas menu was great. The only place we could find that didn't have mushrooms for the vegetarian option. The food was delicious, well presented and a decent portion. The service was good even though they were busy they were quite attentive making sure we were okay. The only slight thing was we got a bottle of prosecco at the bar first and the glasses for the other 2 ladies were smaller and came with a rasp where as our 2 did not. Love the quotes on the walls in the ladies toilets as well. Everything is very nice. The music was good and not too loud. Some ladies were dancing as well. Would definitely recommend this place and would go again.
