What sets Core apart is how it makes every guest feel special. The staff’s genuine passion and attention to detail ensure a flawless experience from start to finish.

We all enjoyed the food and the Chocolate fondant dessert was one of the best I have ever had. So light, not too rich or sweet. Lamb dishes were cooked extremely well, 3 people in our group loved them and fish mains also cooked very well. Only downside was restaurant was cold as it is winter. Staff who served us were lovely and polite led by the main waiter we had named Jonti (hope I spelt correctly). Hopefully will return later in the year and eat out on the terrace area they have.

Service is too slow but lovely ambiance and excellent food and wine!

Amazing restaurant. Excellent food and service Good music
