    It was an excellent meal. The combination of flavours married well and the presentation was art on a plate. Service was excellent

    The lady that was serving on the night was so professional. She was working on her own . Had 40 patrons to look after and did so in the loveliest way. She made our experience ever more better.

    The place was very nice and quiet as we arrived quite late. The service was very kind and helpful and the food excellent, especially the salmon. The greens were at the right point of cooking and the sweets delicious. A must if you travel there.
