    The service really was outstanding and this is still one of our absolute favourite restaurants but it was really disappointing that there was no lobster and no skinny fries! The food we did have was most excellent especially the prawns.

    Overpriced. £370 for a 2 person on Christmas, no drinks included, not worth it by any stretch of the imagination
