I have wanted to dine in this restaurant for some time. I have to say I was slightly disappointed. The service was pushy and the waiter tried to upsell constantly..whilst I was viewing red wines on the menu he pointed at the most expensive red they sold and told us it was exquisite. They forgot to order one of our... More

The menu was a perfect variety of choices and it was hard to pick just one thing per course. So we took the waiters advice and shared all of the meals and that was the best idea: all the meals we'd chosen were superb, from starter to dessert. For dessert: try the sorbet served with chili sauce: it tasted amazing!... More

My partner took me here for an evening meal on a Friday night. The restaurant is attractive, clean and has buzz to it. It is in a great location too. We were shown to our table overlooking the restaurant. Our waitress was attentive but not overly so. Our wine glasses never emptied, we didn't once have to request a refill... More

Went with my wife and some business colleagues. Particularly enjoyed the dessert. Order the Bay of Pigs amazing desert enough for 2 people easily. Had calamari for starters which was great. Mains were black cod for me which was simply amazing melt in mouth stuff. Staff were pleasant and attentive. Again bit pricey but you pay for what you get.

The staff are very friendly but are not very attentive, my wife actually got up to go and speak to our waitress to get her attention when she had been chatting away for 15... More
