                                    We had the four pillars experience. Food was tasty but there just wasn’t enough of it to go with a gin and tonic and 3 cocktails.

                                    so dark could not see what you were eating. Hate QR code menus. (didn't even have paper menu back up for people who struggle with QR codes) Oysters were very average and gnocchi was good but very salty.

                                    The gnocchi night was delicious and great value - I'd highly recommend it for anyone looking for a mid-week dinner out!
