We were so impressed with everything on our night out at Lagoon. We booked and arrived in good time. The restaurant was very busy but well worth the little wait we had. The maitre d' was efficient and welcoming. We took a little while to make up our minds as everything sounded lovely. Our food was delicious, such good flavours. My husband who notices music more than I do said how perfect the music was to create a good ambience. We really enjoyed our evening and will return. Definitely a special night out - Keat is a brilliant chef!
