At the Senate, we pride ourselves on using fresh, seasonal, quality produce to uniquely craft a menu filled with homemade recipes and exciting dishes. We love the combination of bringing together family and friends with good food and drink. Our Lunch and Evening menu extends to a variety sharers and bigger bistro dishes. With a small but well-constructed wine list to compliment every dish and a refined cocktail list to suit all tastes. We are a small team at the Senate, and all believe in a relaxed, friendly, atmosphere with great service.

    Really unhelpful and unfriendly when I needed to change my baby. Had to carry her and all equipment down a narrow circular flight of stairs and change on a side table as there were no facilities and staff had no interest in helping or trying to find us somewhere accessible.

    Beautiful location. The food was good as well. The service was a bit slow. One thing I would say is that the tables could be a bit cleaner, and my water glass game with a hair in it. So, in terms of hygiene there can be a few improvements. I don't think I'm going back but it is ok for someone to go once to enjoy the nice view with some food.
