Started off good, mains were lovely and had a waitress that was very good but then she and another waitress left half way during service then our mains were taken and we waited ages and had to ask for the desert menu. The deserts took ages to come out (although at least you could tell the brownie was freshly made). Then when we got the bill the waiter just stood waiting instead of coming back and after paying cash I had to go up and ask for my change instead of it being brought back to our table

Fabulous. Food was cooked to perfection, the atmosphere was great, service was really good. I can honestly say the steak was cooked perfect and it was so tender it was like a knife going through butter. Highly recommend.

Service was excellent but the quality of the food was disappointing. A lot on the plate was unnecessary for a brunch. Less is more . Need to focus on quality not the quantity.

Absolutely everything about our experience today was perfect! The restaurant is beautiful, the food is excellent and the staff, especially the lovely owner were beyond attentive, our friend got stuck in traffic and they pushed her order through so she could join us in our meal. Nothing was too much trouble! We had a wonderful time and look forward to our return!
