This was amazing! I’m so impressed by this restaurant. We booked a table online as well as their complimentary shuttle service. We were picked up right from our hotel and taken to the restaurant, the driver was lovely and professional. The restaurant was huge and staff were lovely. Meals came out very quickly and were AMAZING! Highly recommend the steaks 👌🏻. When we were finished we walked back out front and hopped back on the shuttle bus which took us straight back to our hotel. 10/10 would highly recommend northerlies!

We tried the lamb shoulder for two - excellent plus plenty so we brought some home. A friend had the prawn and bug linguine but she was not so happy, too strong tasting. Service good and ambience good but wines extremely pricey.
