It’s not my first experience at the whiski rooms and all my experiences have been positive. I have booked in for lunch at 12 noon, however, arriving doors were still closed and other patrons were also waiting to get in. As always, the food and drinks were exceptional and the service by the staff was efficient, well mannered and all the staff met us with a smile and a can do attitude. Overall another great lunch at this lovely eatery
