    We booked months ahead and requested where possible a table with a view noting this was a very special occasion. Request was disregarded and we were hugely disappointed
    20 Stories RestaurantResponded 1 day ago
    Thank you for providing your honest feedback following your recent visit - we are grateful to have received your comments directly regarding the food and service - for which we are delighted to have exceeded your expectations. Whilst we welcome requests and will always try to accommodate these, we do not pre-allocate or hold window tables. Instead, we offer window seating on a real-time basis, so should a window table be available, we will allocate this to the next guest who arrives to be seated straight away. This is the fairest way to operate our window seating which is in very high demand. We hope to welcome you another time. Kind Regards

    Absolutely amazing food, in a beautiful setting. Went on a Saturday night date night and found the music a little loud and some of the clientele a little more rowdy than expected but, overall, still a great experience. Table staff were very nice and professional. Wouldn’t hesitate to go again.

    Thank you so much for your five star review. We’re glad you enjoyed your evening with us but apologise if you found the music to be too loud, and we will certainly take your comments on board. We look forward to welcoming you back in the very near future. Kind regards.

    Absolutely beautiful place and the views are gorgeous. Only thing is meals are overpriced for their size and waiter would come up to us too frequently.

    Average Sunday dinner. Far too much fat on the beef. Had better alternative vegetarian Sunday roasts.
