The food was delicious, as always. Atmosphere - is usually quiet and was again, but was also very cold, and they didn't have the beautiful fireplace going in the height of winter. Service - was ok but mostly disappointing was the staff wearing track pants and a hoodie. Supposed to be a restaurant, not a take away shop.

Our starter, I think was forgotten, but the staff said that it got sent to another table in error, but they did give us a small bowl of chips as compensation, a couple of drinks that was ordered were also forgotten and I felt that we waited a long time for our main course, but when it did come the food was lovely

waited an hour, didn’t get our main meal as was over the wait, the other patients were ridiculously loud which really put us off as we couldn’t even talk to each other. The girl at the register tried charging us for 3 raspberry sodas but only received 2. Very disappointing, was our first time but won’t be returning. Worst experience

Our server was fantastic. There were only a few other tables dining at the same time and it was great that they spread us out across the restaurant so we each had our own space. Much better than being bunched all together. Espresso martinis were mixed well. All the dishes we ordered were well presented and tasted delicious. The dressing on the prawn salad was a bit too sweet but was still so tasty. All the seafood was cooked beautifully. Throughly enjoyed our dining experience today.

We visited for lunch today with friends and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. The food and wine was value for money. Although there were a number other groups in the restaurant, it was not noisy and easy to have a conversation. We will definitely visit again

Our server Macey(I think 😌) was superb. Excited to have us as her customers, she was ready to serve us, beautiful personality. It was really refreshing to have such a young person with an outgoing disposition. Don’t lose her, she has a bright future in guest service. Thank you. Food & beverage wonderful as usual. 🥰

The food was absolutely great! We asked for our food to be brought out at once and we ended up waiting for our dinner for about 25mins after the kids meals came out which was about 40-45mins in total from when we ordered. I am not sure if the person who took our order misheard us or not. When it arrived it tasted great and was presented beautifully.
