The food was delightful and the wine was excellent. The menu was somewhat limited, but what we ordered was quite enjoyable. It could have been served a bit warmer, though.

The food was disappointing and didn't live up to expectations. It didn't match the descriptions on the menu. The steak, which should have been good, was ruined by improper cooking. The desserts had clearly spent too long in the microwave—I'm aware of how they're prepared.

Unfortunately, our experience this evening was quite disappointing. We confirmed last night that we would have a table upstairs, but when we arrived, we were seated at a less desirable table in the bar because it seemed that upstairs was overbooked again. Additionally, two out of the three main courses were served with the wrong sauces, and two of our desserts came with the incorrect ice cream. Overall, it was not an enjoyable night for us this time.

Extremely busy night with food served very quickly and of very high quality..we were disappointed that even though we had booked in advance we were seated in the bar but when we asked to be moved table we were quickly accommodated. Quality of food soon made up for the initial annoyance.

Excellent food and great service and ideal for a group. Looked after by the waiting staff music at end of meal. What more can you ask for a lovely evening and a great end to a great birthday.
