Food was very tasty. We were a party of 6 (included 3 children). No children's menu but that was ok as children are older. Each party member had to order a main course. That was fine, however one member of the party would have liked to have ordered 2 starters instead as he liked the look of them more than the mains. We ordered desserts - very nice. Coffee was ok. A bit on the cool side and didn't have a creamy head. Overall, we enjoyed the occasion. It was a bit on the pricey side but it was a treat. Hope to return again during the summer - to get a view of the city in day light.

Great food and location and atmosphere. The service was good but we think the waiter was new so didn’t really know what he was doing!

Delicious food. Great, friendly service. Our waitress was very good. Kevin was particularly good and a young male waiter who is a student was very good.
