    Good location and ambiance. Overpriced food for the quality. Ordered a sharing lamb platter which came with no veg or sides. Ordered them separately only to get the smallest bowl of green beans. Asked for a second one as it was for 2 people only to be told they had run out of veg on a Saturday night. Really? No other veg on the menu!!! Disappointed.

    Amazing having dinner with that view! Very welcoming and attentive staff and food was delicious. Disappointed by being rushed to finish, we did not in any way take our time to order but ordered all our food straight away when asked by the staff including our drinks. When we had not finished all of our main we were told we had 5 minutes left for our dessert. Then we could tell the staff was rushing us. Taking the dessert plate as soon as we laid our spoons down even though there were food left on it, making sure we were done and ready to pay while taking the dessert plate away. So our experience started out better than expected but ended with us feeling chased out

    Great place for Instagram! Service excellent but food badly lets it down Scallops tasteless, duck starter underwhelming, terrine passable. Lamb very tough and cod not cooked properly. A case of substance over form I’m afraid. Very expensive for the quality of food.
