Dined on our anniversary the food was lovely I just found the portions too little for the price and not much variety on the menu. The place is well decorated I will definitely dine here again :)

We were early diners, at 6.45. There was a warm welcome, drinks served in a comfortable, stylish area. Because it became obvious from our remarks that one of the party had a birthday, when the deserts arrived there was one special one with Happy Birthday in white chocolate round the plate which was a lovely touch. The food was delicious, there were a some of quite unusual things, for example special belly pork dish which was delicious. Each course was both delicious and beautifully presented by very friendly and attentive staff. All this, with great ambiance and a stylish dining room at a very reasonable price. Go there!
