    The food was fabulous. We loved that the chef thanked us at the first course. Then the service ended. The agency staff that delivered the meals didn’t know what they were serving. The killer was your rude “French” sommelier. Terrible wine service and the. Asked to move at the end of the meal so they could reset. Petit fours dumped with dessert and no coffee service until later. Disappointed with the service. It lets you down and I won’t be recommending you. A shame as the kitchen works so hard on the fabulous food.

    Food was lovely and service good. It was however very very noisy and we were seated in a wind tunnel which was not comfortable and took away from the dining experience.

    Food was amazing, and I mean all the dishes. Exceptional. Such a lovely surprise that the executive chef came out to greet us! That was a big highlight for us. Great view. The only downside was that it was very very noisy in the restaurant. Would definitely be back again and again. Thank you!

    Thank you for such a lovely review Agnes. It sounds as if you ordered our 7 course seasonal Tasting Menu. It's been a real hit with everyone, especially the opportunity to meet the chefs behind the food. Thank you so much for coming, and we look forward to seeing you in the restaurant again. A tip regarding noise: I know the restaurant can be noisy when it's full of people having a good time, so please request a table on the balcony. We can't guarantee seating out there, but weather permitting, and if we have availability, you'll find it much less noisy. Judy McMahon Proprietor

    Incredible degustation experience - every course was a delight. Fresh produce, delicate balances of flavour and decent portion sizes. The staff and service was outstanding.

    Keep up the good work on all levels. Giovanni accommodate us beyond my expectation. The head chef had time to bring the first course and greet us & when I was leaving he greeted me appropriately.
