    Great tasting food and the service was attentive we had oysters as a taster which was a great experience. Salmon was fabulous and the filet steak was out of this world. Loved it. The staff were great with the right level of attentiveness and brought all we asked with a smile and some light chat. The restaurant is a little cool if you sit in the corridor on the lower floor.

    Went out as a group of four to celebrate my brother in-laws birthday and cannot fault anything. Staff were warm and welcoming, service was great, food was delicious and plentiful, music and ambiance were excellent. A lovely and relaxed evening was had by all, no sense that they were trying to rush you out the door- we were the last customers to leave. Will definitely return.
