It...was good that they can select and mix from the a la carte menu and the bar menu. every cure was very good. because we had courses from both menus, I didn't think it was too expensive. the service was good, although it was very busy with other events on the running. the workers were busy, but were still attentive to our needs. would recommend if they wish something special or just for dinner.

We had cocktails before our meal which started the evening off well. Before our starters arrived we was treated with a treat from the chef amuse bouche and fresh baked bread board, which was just delightful. When our starters arrived wow what a delight in presentation and taste, we all enjoyed every mouthful. The mains again looked and tasted fantas , my mother and father in law had the beef cooked 3 ways with each one tasting differen , my partner had the sea bass which he loved, I had a steak it was cooked to perfection. We all had a deserts another taste sensation.To give the food 10 out of 10 just doesn't do it justice , this was one of the best meals we all have ever had the pleasure of eating and we all have been to some top restaurants around the world.Excellent food, wine and service dont pass the opportunity to eat here.

The food was okay I had I 've actually forgotten it was that memorable I do remember that my chicken was very dry and tough and my husband thought it had a 'tang ' I left most of it. No one asked us how the food was through out the whole evening, in fact we were probably ignored for most of it!! I know no one else thought it was special but we did and considering it cost £140 I should have been more special than it was !!!
