    The service was excellent, staff very attentive. Food was good lots of lovely details, however having been to numerous two star restaurants this didn’t feel up to scratch for the price. We found small pieces of clothing fluff on numerous items of food, the starter, butter that arrived with bread, and it was even on the middle of the cappuccino I ordered at the end of the meal. For the price I would expect everything to be perfect as it is with other restaurants of this nature.

    Only criticism is price of wines by the glass. The price in general means it’s only justifiable for very special occasions.

    Overall this was a very good and classic fine dining experience, the only complaint would be that the courses came a bit too quickly, a little more time to savor and digest each course would have been nicer .
