A beautiful restaurant - relaxing surroundings -wonderful food cooked to order using fresh ingredients hence a small menu. The down side for me is the gratuity charge added at the end. I. Simply don’t like it. I think we should be able to make our own decisions about the tip and it not be an assumption.

We had an area booked for drinks for my cousin’s 50th birthday. They let me bring a huge ballon etc that they set up for our arrival. I don’t live in the area but if I did, I’d definitely drink there, it’s my kind of place! Brilliant music, good atmosphere, enjoyed it. Drinks weren’t overly cheap but they aren’t anywhere are they?! Really good night.
