    The service was excellent, food lovely, the only thing was it was a bit seafood/fish heavy. I couldn’t have a starter because it was too fish oriented. I don’t eat game either so I was a bit limited. That’s my issue though, not the restaurant’s - I had the lamb and my husband had pork belly, both of which were really lovely. I’ve been a few times and will definitely be back. I really love this restaurant.

    I had Dover sole, quite small and a touch over cooked which meant drier than it should be. Cheese soufflé was delicious. Lemon posset with raspberry sorbet, raspberry was star of the show with not much lemon flavour in the posset. Spilt our wine - one of those things(?!). Service charge of 12.5%. Service was personal but once our food on the table we had to keep trying to attract attention, not much attention. So, not worth 12.5% at all. Great welcome and attentive on our arrival. However, we felt the service and attention deteriorated as time progressed . To finish on a positive note, the music playing was great and staff friendly.

    I love this place. The food was excellent again. The cocktails are fab. It’s like a little oasis. A great space to meet folk.

    Good location. All food was good with a varied menu. Staff were attentive and helpful. The interior of the restaurant is good. I only downgraded the ambiance as we evidently visited on a quiet lunchtime. I’m sure there is a better vibe when busy. I would certainly return.
