The room, atmosphere, location and the service was exceptional! Would love to come back for a drink
The food was not impressive and for me that was a very crucial part especially given it is a dinner party, the chicken was extremely dry and the guests were feeling the same.

A very successful gathering. Friendly and amenable staff. Excellent meal in comfortable and elegant surroundings. Relaxed pace throughout. Expensive, but worth it.
The representative who dealt with the booking was charming, informative and gave helpful advice. We got everything we asked for, but she was a little rigid initially about agreeing to some small variations requested.
