    We had such an enjoyable evening. The waitress was very friendly and looked after us really well. The pianist was amazing creating such a lovely vibe. The food was delicious. We'll definitely be going back again soon.

    I felt the food wasn’t worth the price. Steaks were over cooked which was a let down…bar was able to make every type of martini outside the main classic which was disappointing…

    Very good food but we were very squashed into a booth (5 of us) which made it difficult to enjoy the food comfortably. The lights in the kitchen area were going on & off regularly which was odd.

    Lovely venue for lunch for people coming to meet from a few different directions. as it is close to a Dart Station and also to car parks The food was good, no pressure to start or finish up. The service was excellent and good humoured! Not the first time I have eaten there and it will not be the last.
