It was a good choice, great experience, amazing food, very helpful staff giving great suggestions and smiling all the time. We had a fantastic dining experience: we stayed much longer than we had planned as we felt so welcome, even had desserts yet we'd planned to go elsewhere for dessert 😉

We went for the pre-theatre menu and loved it. Perfect amount of food, good variety of options to choose from so everyone at the table ordered different items and we all got to sample a little bit of everything. Great value and would recommend.
