    Many good points - quiet, ambience, service. The only distraction was the food itself, which was disappointing - an opinion common to us and our guests. This was a shame, so much right, but the main reason for dining out is the food!!

    The food is delicious, we can’t wait to go again. It’s one of those menus where there are lots of dishes you can’t wait to try and everything we ate was outstanding. The service was also warm, friendly and attentive. Great place, definitely go!

    Food sublime although limited menu and you will need to order sides with main . This is a popular pub setting with top tier restaurant quality food but I was sat next to the bar with people ordering drinks and sitting at bar area all time so very noisy and not a relaxing or particularly pleasant experience . Pick tables as far from bar as possible to enhance enjoyment of delicious food and gain best experience.
