    Very disapointed we were placed in a Bar not a dinning room. Not happy they allow dogs into the bar, as there were diners. I have no problem generally with dogs in the bar - just not with diners. This is the first time in our visits to the restaurant this has happened. However the food was excellant.

    A very enjoyable experience and meal. Lovely venue. Service was very good as the restaurant and bar were quiet. The food was presented beautifully and tasted divine.

    Had a lunch here but disappointed with the food. Menu was limited and food only average. It was a complete contrast to the evening meal later that week which was excellent. Setting, ambience and service was however very good on both occasions.
