    Specisl occasion so didn't mind the cost but check menu before booking cos our bill was £280 for 3 with very little alcohol and no coffees. Cant fault food or service but thought the price a little uppish even by todays standards

    The service wasn’t great, it felt like they were rushing us the entire time. I asked for a water top-up and had to chase them three times.

    The experience was second to none in every aspect. The afternoon tea was lovely and well presented, the staff friendly and the atmosphere relaxing. Definitely recommend and will be using again.

    First visit. Not that busy for a Thursday night, but had a couple of excellent cocktails, than the special starter of "tuna tartare" which was fantastic. Had Veal and Lamb main courses both of which were very tasty. Service throughout was friendly and attentive and will definitely go back

    Fish and Chips was more Chips and Fish - whilst tasty, the actual fish was more fish finger than fish - not great value at £24

    Had afternoon tea for 3 people for my birthday and it didn't disappoint. The waiters were great and the restaurant was clean and tidy. Would highly recommend going. I will definitely go again but try the normal lunch menu next time.

    A beautiful vista, piano music, good service and great food. If you want a conversation though don’t sit too close to the piano 😂

    Food is of good quality and well presented, but too expensive for the poor quality service which was both sloppy and slow, especially considering it was not busy. It was a real shame, as it could be so much better.
