    A perfect evening with friends to celebrate my 60th birthday! We had delicious food paired with superb wines and we all had a marvellous time that was over too soon. Happy memories in the morning with tea and scrumptious apple cake that was presented to us on leaving.

    We had the tasting lunch with the classic wine flight, and the whole thing was just outstanding. The service we received from the moment we entered the door just could not be faulted, and the food was exquisite. Every dish was packed with flavour and was elegantly presented. The décor and ambience in the dining room was tasteful and relaxing. Overall we had the most wonderful experience, and although it's not cheap you get what you pay for and it's a great treat.

    Magnificent evening from start to finish. Taster Menu with the flight of wine beyond our expectations. The food most definitely well deserving of Michelin 2 stars possibly 3 ? Very knowledgeable waiter who spent time going through every course we were to be delighted with and spoke with passion regarding each dish. The food was literally works of Art in our opinion We simply could not have had a more enjoyable evening. Thank you Chef.

    We were welcomed by name as we walked through the door and the friendly, discrete service continued throughout. Food was superb, beautifully presented and to look at. Staff were attentive without hovering. Absolutely no rush. We enjoyed a leisurely 3 hour lunch followed by a private kitchen tour by the executive chef.

    What a wonderful experience. I had been hesitant in coming as I thought it might be a little snooty , but we were made to feel at home by the wonderful staff from the offset. Exquisite food, so many delicate and intricate works of art with multiple components to each dish with sumptuous multi faceted flavours. Beautiful elegant, yet earthy surroundings , attentive , knowledgeable staff - thank you for making my son’s birthday an experience he will never forget. Wine pairing a must - thank you to our wonderful sommeliers whose names escape me & Liam the chef and his team - you rock!
