Meet and greet could have been better. Huge restaurant but were seated on a table outside despite having booked. Sea bass good. Nice to have potatoes and vegetables but vegetables rock hard. Lastly vastly overpriced.

l liked that I was able to make a booking in the afternoon after many other restaurants are closed. We were treated like royalty. Nothing was too much trouble. 👍🏽

booked a table for 8 pm, had to ask for drinks order to be taken, had to ask to be seated, 8.45pm, main course did not arrive until after 10.15 pm. waiter dropped lemon for starter and said would replace, didn't, had to ask for mint sauce, left so disappointed as have been here before and it was wonderful. not enough staff, and staff that were there seemed to favour certain tables, definitely not ours. we are so disappointed and feel let down after promising our family a special night out. it was anything but.

Very pleasant welcome, very pleasant staff, food was very nice. The service however was somewhat slow, it took a while for drinks etc to arrive and the food portions were a little on the light side.

Everything was perfect, great atmosphere, staff, surroundings, and of course the food. Would come back here anytime. A Canadian viewpoint.

We had high expectations. I think they were way too busy with a private event and that made the food took too long, service too slow and not as attentive and they also sit us next to the toilets.
