Last night of time with my wife and daughter in town visiting me, this was the ideal place to eat. Gluten free friendly food, great service and staff. Glad to have spent the last evening here with them.

Nice food but over priced. Can get same quality much cheaper elsewhere. Also, no colouring to keep kids occupied, which almost all restaurants offer these days.

Had a fantastic meal for my wife's 50th birthday. There were 11 of us, and everybody enjoyed the food. The service was outstanding, and there was a great atmosphere. Fairly little expensive for what it is (small starters and deserts for the price, and drinks expensive), but was great for a celebration meal.

Waiter wasn’t the best as feel he needed more training about the menu & what drinks they offered so with the bar staff who said he doesn’t speak very good English.

A fine place for lunch or dinner, but not a romantic setting.

Manager asked twice if we needed anything. Answered yes on both occasions but not acted on. It was lunchtime and restaurant quiet.
