Service always excellent. Food is expensive but worth it in my opinion. Well worth a visit.
The soup was a little bland and the beef had a lot of fat on, the dinner was barely lukewarm. However, the main issue was the service, we waited 90 minutes for the main from entering the restaurant despite ordering with the drinks order. The soup bowl remained on our table for at least 30 minutes, no-one came to our table to see if we wanted more drinks or if everything was ok. There was only appeared to be one visible member of staff waiting on tables and it was therefore very difficult to get anyone's attention. It was a very disappointing experience and it would take me a lot to go back any time soon.
A very enjoyable evening, everything was well organised with good social distancing.
As 4 young people in their 20s we like to experience new restaurants that seem so nice and good quality, especially when we are visiting new areas - unfortunately we were extremely disappointed by the service and way we were treated. We had a reservation for 4 booked the day before - it took 10 minutes for someone to get us a table because it seemed they had not prepared or bothered to make note of our booking. When we were seated we were promptly seen to for our drinks and order - that was the first and only good bit of service we received as it went downhill from there - we waited 30 minutes for our starters to be cleared once finishing (which was the only decent food of the evening) and then a further 20 for our main to come out - we then experienced food that for the price tag really let itself down - That was nothing more than a normal gastro pub meal and we did not complain because we already felt incredibly unwelcome and uncomfortable and just wanted to leave. We witnessed plenty of ‘well off’ couples and families receive such welcoming and friendly service from the staff but because we looked young and didn’t dress as fancy as the others we were over looked and ignored. Highly recommend your staff get training on common manners and treat all guests the same considering we paid the same as the well off couples and families at the end of our meal.
We enjoyed our meal however the panne cotta was a little solid with no wobble. Service was a little slow as we waited for the bill. Under the current circumstances it was an enjoyable evening
Had afternoon tea with my good friend to celebrate both our birthdays, good service, friendly staff and lovely surroundings my only comment would be that I was disappointed with the sandwiches.........white bread and the spread was not butter! The cakes were delicious and the glass of champagne topped it off nicely.
As a dining experience it was excellent - service rather slow but fully understandable during covid restrictions. Unfortunately the lamb loin was tough, almost uneatable, & the potatoes cold - replaced to good standard in a pleasant manner. The prawn thermidor was excellent
We had a very pleasant relaxed Saturday lunch. Portion sizes were just right which allowed us to finish off with well-judged desserts, and the staff pitched their service at the right ;level of friendliness and attention.
Great food, quiet at the moment so atmosphere a little subdued. That said the friendly staff could not have been more helpful and polite. Lovely evening
Food was lovely and service great. It was very clean and safe. Recommend.
Great for formal dining and conversation. Food is excellent and service to match. Felt very safe with Covid guidelines
Excellent meal! The Sunday lunch was delicious and the staff were extremely friendly and helpful. We were impressed with the efforts made to abide by the social distancing rules with minimal disruption to the dining experience.
Excellent, professional service, beautiful food, great atmosphere. Nothing was too much trouble. Will definitely be returning again soon.
Best meal i have in a very long time! I had the duck pate starter and I didnt want it to end! As usual the steak was amazing! We havnt been for a while due to covid but its good to be back, we've missed it! 10/10
Really enjoyed our meal, first visit and would highly recommend. Fabulous food cooked to perfection and wonderful staff who were friendly, polite and courteous
Lovely resteraunt, had a great family evening.
We were looked after very well under the current(covid) circumstances.
Food was very good. Staff were friendly and attentive. We will definitely be back in the future.
Slightly over priced but the food is delicious. Its a place to go to for a special treat rather than a weekly visit. So if the prices were lower we would go more on a regular basis.
The covid precautions were exemplary and the staff attentive - well done! It was the actual food, however, that led to a less positive feedback. The scallops were overcooked - pointless sending them back as they couldn't be 'restored' as you can if anything is undercooked; and the ribeye steak OK but not exceptional, served with 'fries' - I would have expected proper chips at the prices charged. We enjoyed our evening as we always do with our friends and the wine choices excellent and fairly priced but, sadly, will not return for food that was frankly, mediocre.
Thoroughly enjoyed our Sunday Lunch, did lack atmosphere but this was probably due to Corona!!
Best meal I've had in ages, beautiful setting and fabulous service x
