What a fantastic dinning experience for my sons 23rd Birthday. Food was ontime and wonderful. Service was exceptional and could not complain about the staff. A totally salubrious experience for the whole family. I have to confess it wasn't cheap, but if you want a cheap meal with little service go to KFC. Will be back again at some point in time. Highly recommended as a memorable high end dining experience.

Excellent food, ambience make for a great night out. Andy and the team have put together another winner with Clam Bar. Already having favoured other restaurants. Pellegrino 2000 and sadly now closed Bistro 916 I have a new favourite. All the food was incredible, but particularly liked the strip steak and creamed spinach.
