    Everything was excellent. Price gets a 4 only because it was pricey, but expected. Fun meal, staff attentive and lovely. Plenty of food. Great wine pairing.

    We paid over £300 to have an anniversary celebration but was given a shared table at the back of the restaurant facing the freezers. It was terrible experience as we didn’t enjoy the atmosphere. Had to be turning 180 to get a waiter’s attention and just ruined our night.
