    We had a lovely relaxing dinner , there seems to be much more space than when we would dine at the Fish Restaurant ..loved the trio who performed also and the staff were very attentive and so professional as you’d expect. We were pleased to see that area being put to good use as it always seemed empty in the evening once afternoon tea had finished and a wasted Space

    At first when I was looking for the restaurant I thought it was a bit strange it was in the middle of a park, but once you get there it's a cosy environment, and the staff are lovely. There's a board with the menu most the dishes seem to be shared dishes we got one starter the scallops this dish was superb in everyway. Then the mains and the portion is large we went for the duck it can out in 2 different ways and both appealing to the mouth. I would definitely come back here the food is worth while as well as the ambience.

    The staff were very attentive and pleasant. The menu had an excellent variety of dishes and wines. We were delighted with the quality of our food and the house wines. It was refreshing to be able to have a conversation without competing with music and other guests. Great acoustics. Great ambience but we were in a corner so did not get the benefit of the lovely restaurant areas or ambience. Nevertheless, we had a great dining experience. Great value amd top quality food and wines. Would recommend highly.
