    During my visit the waiting staff saved a lady’s life who was choking on a piece of food and held the situation very delicately. Well done.

    Had a wonderful experience with great food and superb, relaxed service. The team provided an unrushed and welcoming atmosphere, making for a truly enjoyable visit. However, the Christmas menu’s main course—Shepherd’s Pie—was a slight letdown compared to last year’s offering. That said, everything else was fantastic, and the overall experience was delightful!

    Very slow service, food had very little flavour. Steak was extremely dry and waiters took forever to serve drinks.

    My friend and I came for dinner reserved for 5.30pm. My friend arrived early about 4,55pm. The receptionist gave a but of attitude asking the time when other guest will arrive. I said table isn't booked until 5.30pm, but she was rude to me. Eventually, she was escorted to table where she received more attitude. She said because she was early she will sit at the bar and have a drink until I arrive, but the waitress said that the table is only for 1hr 45mins as from my arrival. After challenging the table is reserved for 5.30pm, My friend was given drinks menu for the bar - but the table was given to someone else when 5.30pm arrived. The floor manager was a lot more sympathetic and showed us to another table.

    No more sourdough at breakfast, even though it’s still on the menu. Fairly boring menu, nothing particularly creative. Very good scrambled eggs, tasty hash browns, but the rest was boring and mediocre.
