    Went for steak night but meat was full of fat and gristle. Hard job cutting it with a steak knife. Not cooked over flame, more likely a hot plate. Served rare as requested but not a drop of blood as dry. Disappointed as expected far better and tastier food. Shame.

    We had a delightful lunch here. Enjoyed delicious canapés chicken liver tartlets & rosti, mushroom duxelles & goats cheese, followed by perfectly cooked porterhouse steak special and pumpkin & pecorino ravioli with burnt butter sauce. Finished with delightful daytime inspired dessert . Delightful, friendly and professional service. Highly recommended.
