The food was great and the service was excellent. This is a very good restaurant with expert staff. We came here a few years ago shortly after it opened and were a little dissatisfied with the service, but now it has improved incomparably. We were surprised not to see more people there on Christmas Eve.

Lovely as always albeit the Christmas menu felt somewhat overpriced. They got our starter wrong but were very quick to replace the dish with the correct one. Very good service overall and high quality food.
