    Love this place. It was extremely busy, but hey it was the week before Christmas. We were sat in the new glassed area at the front of the restaurant. Great choice of food. Definitely worth a visit.

    Family of 5 meal out to celebrate a birthday. The food was lovely and the restaurant has a very nice look and feel. Have been there for meals before and never been disappointed. The monkfish in particular was delicious and perfectly cooked: my son who rarely gives praise said his burger was the best he had ever tasted and my husband had the lamb which was outstanding. Just some of the highlights. Whilst it isn’t cheap, you really do get what you pay for

    Only minor criticism was the position of our table meant people passing tended to “brush past”.

    Very well organised and the vibe was particularly good- really great atmosphere. Overall the food was good but was obviously reheated- the cauliflower cheese was hard and some slices of turkey were crimpled at edges and very tough…… and more veg would have been nice. We enjoyed the starters and puddings.
