Had Sunday lunch here for my husband's birthday with two other family members in this upmarket restaurant. Enjoyed cocktails before the meal and then called to the table promptly for our time. Service excellent as was the food. Beef and lamb both delicious- lovely to see lamb on the menu. Starters all very nice and tasty. Compliments to the chefs. Pristine white tablecloths and a lovely ambience. We asked for the rather loud music to be turned down a bit which they did very pleasantly. (It was then background which was fine). Staff were very obliging and we all enjoyed our experience. Our third visit here and will definitely return. Highly recommend.
