Below average food at a very high price. Service was very slow and it wasn’t particularly busy. Setting is gorgeous but not worth the hype or the money. Good place for drinks but much better places for food

Thank you to all staff who helped to make my 28th Birthday weekend an even more special one. The plate with happy birthday written in chocolate was a lovely touch!

The service really was outstanding and this is still one of our absolute favourite restaurants but it was really disappointing that there was no lobster and no skinny fries! The food we did have was most excellent especially the prawns.

Overpriced. £370 for a 2 person on Christmas, no drinks included, not worth it by any stretch of the imagination
