    We sat downstairs by the door after a long wait to be seated despite having a reservation. It was cold in this area so was uncomfortable the whole meal as they couldn’t move us. From the start our sever unfortunately misheard our orders so food and drink kept on being returned. The team nicely recovered the service mistakes but it was a shame as we were trying to celebrate Christmas with our mum. Anyway, food was delicious and the setting was nice. Not sure I would rush back.

    Entry to restaurant was difficult as staff could not cope with coats and outer garments of arriving patrons. Result was clients queuing outside in storm conditions awaiting entry to premises, Service was fair but three separate attempts at ordering water for the table proved unsuccessful. Alcoholic drinks were vastly overpriced.
