A really lovely place to go to celebrate our adult daughters' birthday. Busy with a great buzz for early January gave it a real energy. It's a big restaurant but the service and food was excellent and the attention to two diner's gluten intolerance was good, however please just put the allergens on the menu and not force them to scan apps - it's almost like a disability discrimination.

Great spot for some lovely cocktails. Vibe and venue is superb. The cocktails that we had were all very good (I'd recommend the Snickers Old-Fashioned) and served by very knowledgable bar staff who were attentive throughout the night. I'll definitely be back.

We went as a party of 10, including 3 children. The maitre immediately suggested the special dishes for the children (burgers) which was very much appreciated. Food was excellent, if rather pricey, but the service was very slow - much slower than we had experienced on the couple of occasions when we had eaten here before. Ambience was good - we were very nicely seated at the far end of the restaurant, but the noise level was still quite high.
