We were off to the Princess theatre which is next door to The European and so time was important and our lovely meals were served promptly and the service was flawless and done with some humour. Wonderful experience and food.

Absolutely delicious lunch for a birthday celebration. Every dish was fantastic and we loved the premium wines by the glass. The service staff connected with us and knew when to drift in and out without interruption. We had a lot of dishes and truly believe every dish on the menu would be a winner. As an aside, avoid the underground car park if your car might get caught on the unusually sloped driveway. We heard three cars scrape it, including our own. There is plenty of other parking around and will be worth any walk in the rain!
