    The value for the bottomless brunch was fantastic. It makes it very simple that you don’t have to even think about ordering. Service was prompt and attentive without being overbearing. Thanks for a great birthday celebration!

    Very nice High Tea for special occasion. Quite pricey so would only go there for special occasion. Staff were friendly and chatty, but not very attentive. Had to ask for drinks menu twice (first person obviously forgot.) Had to walk to other side of restaurant to order second drink as no staff were in the vicinity for some time.

    There’s not one item on the current menu I wouldn’t eat. We chose a Chef’s Feed Me Menu as we couldn’t decide. Every dish was outstanding.
