"Anniversary meal. Although initially warmly welcomed by the chap at the desk and we were given 2 glasses of fuzz. (Thank you) The service that followed was sullen and unfriendly. There was no ‘check back’ was our food ok? My husbands toasted sandwich was cold. He wasn’t going to say anything as it was our anniversary meal but I could tell he wasn’t enjoying it. We did manage to speak to a waiter who said he wasn’t sure if it shoujd be warm or cold. He took plate with sandwich away and returned with it on a smaller plate not much warmer and again no checking if we were happy? We ate our food. Did notice people were sitting down then getting up and leaving. Again managed to gain someone’s attention to get the bill. Bill placed on our table in silence. Again no how was your meal? Or just general chat ‘happy anniversary’ any nice plans for the day? noticed 10 percent already added on for service so no extra tip from us. I work in hospitality and customer service and was so looking forward to my visit. We are local and were checking out for potential return visits in the Summer. Although, the food is not extravagantly expensive in these hard economic times, friendly, attentive service would have really made the ‘experience’ enjoyable and repeatable. Also allowed to leave with out a ‘good bye’ . Saddened as so looking forward to visit."

This restaurant is a fantastic spot to reunite with some college buddies I hadn't seen in nearly five decades. We all had a great time and really enjoyed our meal.

We ate lunch indoors. The room is spacious and light, the menu well-priced with a nice variety of options. Overall, a positive experience and a good option for a business lunch.

This restaurant is fantastic. It offers stunning views and top-notch service. While there are limited gluten-free options available, the food is delicious and the desserts are simply wonderful.

A pleasant space, convenient, fast and efficient service. But the food isn't very good. It reads well in the menu but wasn't cooked well. Tough lamb, doughy pineapple cake. Food for 2 was £76, this didn't include any drinks.

chose the specials and it was finely balanced. One diner was worried about having to plough though too many beans (written as bens on the menu) but the proportions were spot on. The fish was a generous size, moist and tasty. and the gremolata delicious. no ping was had but staff were happy to provide coffee outside on the terrace.

The restaurant has greatly improved since my last visit over a year ago. The ambiance and service were good, and the food was much better. The chicken starter was a bit chunky and odd at first, but it had a good Mediterranean flavor that melded well as I continued eating. The smoked sea trout was impressive, though the pots seemed a bit old. The beans were very fresh and the trout had a strong smokey flavor, perhaps a bit too much. The panna cotta was pleasant and a bit fluffy, but the crumble and pastry seemed a bit separate and not well blended. Overall, my group of five greatly enjoyed our meal and we will definitely be coming back. Keep up the good work, this restaurant is now back on ou...
