    The restaurant was absolutely fantastic and the staff did a really great job, totally unflustered even though the venue was exceptionally busy - absolutely heaving. There was a super atmosphere although the sheer number of people meant the noise level was a bit high at times. None of this detracted from the amazing standard of food served and we really enjoyed our evening. Service times were reasonable but slightly slower than ideal, but that must be down to the level of custom. Far better the successful, vibrant and lively atmosphere than an empty venue struggling to survive. We were shown to our table exactly on booked time and overall it was superb. Biggest comment on the food would be the Eton Mess, which is not the traditional meringue plus strawberries. Had to mark them down because of the substandard booking and review system they use - really would be worth seeking a user-friendly booking service. All I want to do is book a table for a meal out, not struggle with endless security checks.
