    Had eaten here approx 1.5 years ago. The food at that time was second to none. Could not wait to get back again, but my last visit and experience was so disappointing. Standard food at far too high a price. Whilst the food is still being locally sourced the execution is well below previous standards. I left disappointed, and unfortunately would not return.

    As usual, absolutely fantastic, it's hard to overshadow the Turbot which was lovely, but the Tarte Tatin was the best dessert I've had anywhere recently. As always the service was excellent, attentive and genuine never intrusive. Try the Furmint, great wine with fish!

    Menu was a little limited. Plus I was really looking forward to the monkfish served with crab and pea risso but unfortunately it wasn't on

    Visited this restaurant many times, have seen a definite decline in both service and food. 4 different members of staff attended our table, the food was literally passed over my friends head by a member of staff whose hair was hanging around her face. Menu remains relatively unchanged and lacks variety.Only one member of staff had their hair tied back. No uniforms on staff, all wearing normal cloths. Disappointed as this used to be a really good restaurant.
