Angelos has changed over 25 years when I first went their . The time of day mid week the place was 90% setup for a function so it didn’t have the feel of being in cosy restaurant like it used to be. However if the place was fitted out for normal seating then it would have a different atmosphere. I guess I just turned up on the wrong day. Definitely is a great place to hold a function but the room is not separated between function and normal dining.

Had a lovely time. Looking out of the big glass windows was beautiful. The waitress were all very friendly and service was good. The food and prices were very good. One person had food allergies and they were able to accommodate exactly what she wanted. It was a bit noisy and parking is not easy. Would love to return.
