    The chicken wasn’t as good as expected. The cod was very good. The scallops nothing special. My expectations were high and it’s not a place i would go again. But it’s a good restaurant.

    Excellent Sunday dinner of roast beef and pork loin with yorkshire pudding and vegetables. Quite comforting and delicious. Wonderful service, attentive and helpful. We would definitely return, if we lived nearby.

    Lovely meal in a beautiful setting. I have been a few times before and have always enjoyed it. The portions are relatively small and it's quite expensive, but it is good quality and tasty.

    Very nice atmosphere, excellent service and there were so many great menu choices it was hard to decide. We may have to go back before our trip is over.
