    Beautiful setting,food was outstanding,drinks were fantastic,especially the old fashioned cocktail ( one of the best I've had) oxtail starter with duck egg was soooo good, we shared the lamb rack 10/10 and of course dessert( the invisible sticky toffee pudding (magic). The quartet that played as we had food were just brilliant my wife and I loved the vibe from the singer and the musicians.Would highly recommend going for a great meal and a relaxing evening.

    Voting for exceptional is counter intuitive but the whole exerience is VG Plus. The designers have made the most of the space, its high ceiling and tall windows. A gem in a city scape.
