We booked our table very early at 11:45 and we're the first ones in so could see the interiors and how they are laid out. Service was excellent, we had the festive tasting menu for 2, there was so much food, we struggled to get through it and left some. We took our puddings away in a box. Be prepared excludig alcohol to pay £75 - £100 per head for an epic experience. Would definitely go back. I took my daughter for her birthday as she wanted to go and it was fantastic.

We recently visited this Aun as a group of five and had an overall enjoyable experience. The food was exceptional, with beautifully prepared dishes. The ambience was also delightful, creating a warm and inviting setting for our evening. However, the service fell short of expectations. We had to repeatedly request wine and food, which disrupted the flow of our meal. For a restaurant in this price range, we anticipated more attentive service. While we loved the food and atmosphere, improved service would elevate the experience to match the premium pricing.
