    I booked drinks only and advised that it was for a birthday. They very sweetly wrote a birthday card and gave complimentary chocolates to my friend. View was lovely, everything was spotless, the atmosphere was relaxing and the service was great. Recommend, especially if you have friends visiting from out of town.
