A really lovely place to go to celebrate our adult daughters' birthday. Busy with a great buzz for early January gave it a real energy. It's a big restaurant but the service and food was excellent and the attention to two diner's gluten intolerance was good, however please just put the allergens on the menu and not force them to scan apps - it's almost like a disability discrimination.

It was perfect from start to finish. The food is flavourful, original yet classic and delicious. The restaurant is beautifully lighted, the noise is surprisingly low for such a wide space, and a special thank you to our waiter James who was lovely, gave us good advice and a special treat for my mum’s birthday. It’s a truly special place !
