Disappointed, this use to be my fave restaurant, I moved from Harrogate 6 months ago and returned tonight to find the price had gone up and quality had gone down. Sad that nothing stays the same

We love coming here. This occasion was to celebrate our daughter’s birthday. The food was excellent, as was the service and attention to detail. There is always plenty to Choose from and each dish is superb. Would thoroughly recommend this restaurant, and we will be back - again!

Delicious food. The only reason I’ve marked it down by 1 star is the service was slow. This was down to staff shortages. This did not affect the quality of the food which was excellent.
