    We had a lovely relaxing dinner , there seems to be much more space than when we would dine at the Fish Restaurant ..loved the trio who performed also and the staff were very attentive and so professional as you’d expect. We were pleased to see that area being put to good use as it always seemed empty in the evening once afternoon tea had finished and a wasted Space

    My girlfriend and I frequent Palm Court Brasserie every Christmas which has become a bit of a tradition. We always seem to sit on the same table which we love. This time, as ever before, was no exception. The service was excellent, the atmosphere was great and the food was tremendous and good value considering its location. My girlfriend has a milk allergy, and was immediately put at ease when the waiter came over and walked her through the menu in terms of what could be modified etc. which always makes the experience much more enjoyable for her. This was further enhanced at the end when the manager also checked the her allergy was adequately catered for. Overall, a fantastic experience and we’re already looking forward visiting again next year.
