    Wasn’t amazing but wasn’t bad. Waited a long time for drinks order to be taken - husband meal came a just meat but we weren’t asked if we would like sides, yes we should have checked but good service staff would have suggested. But again was fine - just better places to eat for the price.

    Sadly it was a very disappointing experience! Not the first time we have dined there and usually very good. But today restaurant very busy, my beef was almost raw and the rest of my friends food was Luke warm. Table service was good but I don’t think we will be returning any time soon!

    Lovely restaurant in a great location, the food was very tasty and reasonably good value - considering the location. However, the service was lacking. Long waits, with staff ignoring attempts to get their attention. They were pleasant enough once you got their attention but the long wait for food and drink was disappointing.

    Expensive. As the French would say "mauvais rapport qualité prix". Admittedly we had only the standard fixed menu but even so that shouldn't mean cutting back on detail. At this level one might expect a complimentary piece of bread and an amuse bouche?

    This is a lovely place with great staff. I went with the maitre d's recommendations for my main course and dessert, and was definitely not disappointed. The monkfish was cooked to perfection, and the dessert was to die for. It's not cheap to dine here, but for a special dinner I think it's well worth the cost.

    Lovely food as always. Happy hour cocktails to start were fab. I asked for certain seating in bookimg and was well accommodated for. One party were rather noisy which I found a little annoying but wouldn't have noticed if busier.
