Ate the five course valentines dinner. Food was okay but serving sizes were small for what you pay for. The seafood wasn't that fresh; but acceptable. The main issue was that there was a long 20-30min wait between each course and they forgot to serve us the fourth course. They didnt realise this until we complained after they tried to pack up our plates. Multiple drink refills occurred during this 1hr+ wait but none of the staff who attended to our table realised we were still waiting for food. We didn't receive an apology until we brought it up whilst paying to a very surprised manager. The apology received sounded non genuine and spoken without thought.

We sat inside the restaurant near the sliding door. It’s the 3rd time we have eaten here over the festive season. The seating was perfect. The food was lovely and of a very high standard. Starters included scallops, prawns and sashimi. Beautifully presented. Salads and vegetables were all lovely and the turkey and beef perfection. We had a wonderful family Christmas lunch and will continue to visit especially at Christmas time.

It’s was a lovely experience. Could do better if more serving staff were in attendance. Have to keep asking to top up water. It was a share plate , so serving spoon should be provided with each dish.

Booked for 21/12 as a Christmas treat for my wife. Even confirmed it over the phone two days before with a member of staff. When we got there it was closed, and no-one on reception knew about booking or why we'd been booked for a day when not open. Won't try again.

We went for a small wedding reception with 14 adults, 2 children and an infant. The food was selected from the menu as a tapas due to the numbers. The food was amazing and they catered for 2 gluten free and 2 non seafood with no qualms. There was plenty of food, to the point where we struggled to clean all of the plates. My only criticism is that we had to ask for drinks as no-one came around to check on this aspect of the meal. Food timing was great as we did not feel rushed and had plenty of time to actually consume each course.

We went as a group of 8. We had plenty of room in the beautiful room. The food was good and the specials which included a glass of wine was good value.
