    A lovely evening in the candle lit glasshouse. The food was imaginative and well cooked. The service was attentive but not over the top.

    Excellent pre-theatre dinner. We had the Aubergine parmigiana and Ribeye steak, followed by wice baked lemon souffle and Chocolate Nemesis. Recommended. The only downside was the decaf coffee; the worst I've had in a restuarant for some time. Avoid.

    Thank you for taking the time to leave this informative and kind review; we will certainly look into retraining our team regarding coffee making. Nevertheless, I am delighted to see that you enjoyed your dinner and we hope to welcome you back again soon! Kind Regards, Roxy - Restaurant Manager

    Excellent experience as ever at this lovely restaurant. Busy and lively atmosphere as we were greeted on arrival and offered good choice of tables. Prompt, friendly and helpful service throughout. My grilled octopus starter was exceptionally good and our main fish dishes - monkfish and the daily halibut special - were both delicious. Not cheap but good value. Definitely worth a visit.

    Excellent service, the octopus as starter was delicious. The pasta Rigatoni with duck ragu was a bit salty. But overall the food was delicious! Definitely recommended!
    GeesResponded 4 days ago
    Thank you so much for your kind words and feedback. We're thrilled to hear you enjoyed the octopus starter and found the food overall delicious. We appreciate your input about the Rigatoni, and we'll definitely take that into consideration. It means a lot that you would recommend us, and we look forward to welcoming you back again soon!
