    Great place for a nice evening out. A lovely seasonal menu that caters to all dietary requirements, accompanied by a robust wine menu featuring a range that spans from everyday, affordable options to special occasion fine wines. Knowledgeable staff took care of a party of 6 with a smile. All in all, a charming evening indeed.

    Another fabulous and fun themed evening, this time The Titanic. Food was so good that my companion, dressed in '1st Class attire', commented, "if this was the last meal on the Titanic, it was very very good!" It was so good, from the cocktail Martini to the starter to the juicy beef main and the creamy peach dessert. Service was great with them dressed to theme as well and they had decorated with various boat props. Loved how everyone made the everyone to dress up too and then joined in with the live Irish band in Jack's 3rd Class downstairs.
