Bar was quiet when we came in and lots of staff. Food was good and service was good too we had a nice evening in the bar with live music after we had dinner
Food was delicious, timing between courses was spot on, our glasses were always topped up without asking, even just water. Staff were extremely friendly and seating was extremely comfortable and in a manner which felt private in a busy restaurant
Absolutely stunning place.
