I would prefer the wine was left on the table rather than waiting to refresh our glasses. They should offer as an option rather than a default. Service was impeccable.

The best meal we ever had. The service was excellent. The quality, quantity and values were exceptional. My kids said it was the best meal they have ever had and already requested to come back soon. We had few starter plates and few sticks and tried the salmon and duck buns. Not to mention the amazing s’mores dessert which was the cherry on top of the cake as my daughter described
