    Had a fantastic evening at the Winter Garden at The Landmark—a beautiful setting with an elegant atmosphere that made for a perfect night out. The food was excellent, with each dish well-prepared and beautifully presented. The ambiance, with its stunning high ceilings and warm lighting, added to the experience. A special shoutout to our waiter, Ant, who truly made the night memorable. His attentive service, friendly demeanor, and great recommendations elevated the evening. He ensured everything was perfect and made us feel genuinely welcome. Would highly recommend dining experience with top-tier service. Will definitely be back!

    Lovely dinner - really romantic and cosy candlelit restaurant with very attentive and friendly staff. Extensive wine list and very tasty food. Our only complaint would be the valentines mark-up (seemed to be roughly 50% from the normal menu) but oh well.

    Went with a friend and the staff was fantastic. Especially one waiter/chef called Benjamin, bless him he was only 18 but he really delivered and made us feel welcome. There was one server called Rufus though, think I went to school with him?!
