We had a lovely Christmas Dinner and we didn't need to clean up! Isabelle was great for the 12 of us. Most had the Prime Rib Christmas dinner with Sweet Potato's and Yorkshire Pudding or the Short Rib dinner with carrots asparagus scallop potatoes and little potatoes. One of us had the Chicken and Declared it delicious. Only 3 apps and salads which was probably wise because the meals were filling. Hubby chose a nice Spanish wine. We finished with cappuccino, two had a dessert of the chocolate tart. It was a very nice Christmas! The only downside is the noise level. Maybe the restaurant could think about modifying the ceiling with material to absorb sound. Otherwise it's a great place for lunch or dinner!

The service was good and so were the apps. The main courses fell short. All 4 of us agreed that we were excited after the quality of apps but the mains were a huge miss. The pasta was stuck together and lacked flavour. The Octopus a disappointment, too many issues with this dish from flavour to overall cook.

A beautiful restaurant with a variety of seating arrangements. The food was very good. Portion sizes are on the smaller side but this was brought to our attention when ordering. The server was very helpful and attentive. No long wait periods for anything. All in all a great evening out.
