    The overall experience was alright. We originally booked a set menu, however, when brought to the table, we were still provided the al-la-carte menu with no acknowledgement of the set menu. When asked, they weren't sure, despite my booking confirmation email stating it. For the al-la carte we had the burrata and poached pear to start. Followed by, steak, duck breast, braised beef cheeks. Food was presented well and delicious. There were some issues with the Midori Splice, however the manager had it rectified.

    We had the waiter tailor our starters and then chose a few mains to share with our group. The picks by staff were perfect and all the food was amazing. Add to this that the atmosphere was extremely quiet and relaxing - we were able to have conversations and enjoy our food. Extremely happy!

    My husband and I I had two really great meals. The pasta dish was lovely and the steak for my husband was also good. We shared zucchini flowers. Breakfast menu was equally good. A lot of choice and varied items compared to what you normally get. Definitely will go back
