Food was delicious, friendly service. Beautiful views. Only downside was we were half an hour late to the booking as there was a carnival on and couldn’t get a parking spot.( I explained this to staff and they held our table) Husband has arthritis in hip so can’t walk far. This is no fault of the restaurant though, round probably go on a quieter night next time
