We had a fantastic experience. Staff were welcoming,friendly, attentive and serviceable. Food was delicious and adequate amount provided which we appreciated. That said we felt slightly hurried to place our food order. We arrived on time for our 2:30pm booking but no sooner had we settled in than we were informed the kitchen would close at 3:00pm therefore they required us to place our orders before then.They however reiterated the bar would remain open till late.
