It looks lovely in there, really looking forward to it however it was like sitting in a green house. It's was uncomfortably warm and oppressive and when we asked a staff member if we could open a window, he told us he didn't know where the tool was to do it and just left us to it.

The restaurant exudes a lovely atmosphere with friendly staff and stunning decor. However, patrons have expressed discomfort due to lack of ventilation and temperature control in the dining area. Despite this, the cocktails are divine and the food delicious. Additional menu options and clearer advertising of offerings are suggested improvements. Overall, a wonderful experience with attentive service, enjoyable atmosphere, and potential to become a favorite spot for many. Whether for a relaxed afternoon or an evening out, this venue offers a great setting for a memorable dining experience.

Nice decor, on site parking, coffee is not bad. The Academy breakfast was (excusing the bacon, which was good) genuinely shocking. The worst sausages I've ever...
