    Every thing was amazing the food the drinks all well worth it. But the only thing they need to change due to it being false advertising. I order what I thought was a full rack of lamb chops and they literally only brought out two that’s ones thing that needs to be changed better being specific about what your gonna get.

    Always a consistently exceptional dinner at Mulberry, never disappoints. Took out of town business clients who were impressed with the service and quality of their meals. Of course nobody goes hungry at Mulberry with the generous portions. Kudos to our server Rene for fantastic suggestions and attending to our every need.

    We always look forward to starting off with warm bread and two kinds of whipped butter that’s so addictive! Had a lovely dinner and enjoyed our filet mignon steaks with lemon broccolini, twice baked potato, garlic mash, veggies, and bacon wrapped scallops. We finished off with the sticky toffee pudding which was nice. Not too sweet and just the right amount to share.
