This place never disappoints. We’ve been dining here for a few years now, mainly for ‘special’ occasions due to the cost, but it’s worth every penny. The quality of food served is exceptional and some of the best I’ve ever eaten. The service is always excellent with the perfect level of attentiveness. Can’t wait for our next visit. A little hidden gem!

We had booked here for Christmas date night before going see Wicked at the Cinema, booking was very easy through the OpenTable app. The restaurant called a few days earlier to check our booking needs and I’d said then I wanted a romantic table. We checked in at the main door and asked to place our coats in the cloak room( which was professionally managed ), the elevator was express to the 20th floor and the moment you exited, you was met by the beautiful ambience of the bar and restaurant. We were sat next to the window ( as requested ) and had a perfect view of the city Ordering was straight forward and simple, food arrived promptly and perfectly dressed The whole was just perfect Absolutely 10/10 for the whole experience

Excellent as always, nothing too much trouble for the staff and always pleasant and attentive. Food was excellent, we had the 9 course tasting menu which was wonderfully amended to suit my wife's intolerances. Every course was a delight. Has to be one of the best restaurants, if not THE Best, in Derby. While it remains this good we will continue to return.

Although it was very busy with Christmas parties, we were served quickly with lovely food, by lovely staff. However, they did get our order wrong, but quickly rectified it. We throughly enjoyed our visit, until it was time to use the loo! They are in an awful state and needs a complete makeover!
