Superb 5 star service, comfortable, well apportioned,.modern dining space. Beautifully presented, delicious food and we were looked after by Denilson and Rahela attentively and professionally. We were given a dining voucher as a gift, so we received our experience gratis, but it is something we will happily pay for on a future day out. Thank you for a lovely afternoon.

We booked the restaurant as part of my daughter’s 21st celebrations as a family and I can truly say that we had an amazing time. The service and food is outstanding and the restaurant has a lovely atmosphere. This is the second time we have been and will certainly be booking for Sunday lunch again.
