    Lovely meal. It was good to see a menu extensive enough to satisfy a variety of tastes including vegan and vegetarian but not overwhelming like in some restaurants. Excellent serving attentive but not too much. Good value. My 2nd visit and will certainly come again.

    This restaurant was a recommend from friends who had visited in November from Merseyside. We were also delighted with the whole experience. A wide selection of food to suit all and reasonably priced.

    Really nice looking resturant and staff were friendly and attentive. Great tasting food but unfortunately some of it was cold on serving. Equally the desserts left a little to be desired but on the whole was a good experience. Shame due to some of the clientelle and the time their were some more innebriated guests which threw the ambience a little but I understand its a saturday night and you need bums on seats.

    What an amazing restaurant!! We were lucky enough to get a table as we were staying at the hotel - so glad we did. The menu choice was great and varied and our meals were delicious. My husband had the steak and said it was the best he’s had ( and he’s visited a lot of restaurants!) . Very reasonably priced for the quality of food . The hardest thing was what to chose as all the food looked great
