Everything was off to a great start and the food was really lovely. The service started off great and friendly throughout but slowed down noticeably at the end when we had to flag for a bottle of water and order desserts - took 30 mins to get attention after we had finished our mains. Otherwise a lovely meal and we’d happily come back!

We enjoyed the service today. Wait staff were very friendly. The main course food took a long time to come as it was busy. It would be good to put some noise absorbing materials as the restaurant with its hard surfaces was very loud. The people were great, food nice wine nice and the view outstanding.
