Incredible. The food is fantastic, highly recommend the salmon entree. For my main I had the chicken, the waitress recommend it to me and it was one of the best chicken dishes I’ve ever had (& I eat a lot of chicken.) The atmosphere and decor were lovely, and the service of a very high standard, our waitress (a Dutch girl) was friendly, professional and knowledgable about the menu. I would definitely return even if I wasn’t staying at the attached hotel. Not a single complaint. As a “poor university student” it was well worth the price tag

We enjoyed a fabulous dinner here last night 19.12.12. Our waiter was lovely and had the biggest smile and made us feel very welcome. The food was exceptional I had the Salmon Entree which was fresh and tasty my partner had the Scallops which tasted Divine. Our mains were just as pleasing, my partner had the beef which was tender and cooked to perfection, I had the pork and no complaints from me. Everything on the plate worked so well together and the flavour combinations delightful. Great food look forward to going back for a special occasion.

The service was only okay as we did have to wait a little while to be seated even though we had a reservation. This was not really a problem though as we sat in the waiting area and soaked up the ambiance which was great!

Our waiter was a little clumsy to say the least but the food made up for the skills he lacked. The whitebait was to die for!

All and all a great dining experience with wonderful wine and a great atmosphere. We will return with more friends to ensure the standard is the same.

We went here on a voucher deal,and it surpassed my expectations. The salmon entree was excellent, such delicate and well balanced flavours. The beef main was superb, a beautifully cooked piece of meat.Another stand out was the chocolate mousse. We enjoyed the ambience, and attentive, if somewhat awkward service. Recommended.
