We had a lovely relaxing dinner , there seems to be much more space than when we would dine at the Fish Restaurant ..loved the trio who performed also and the staff were very attentive and so professional as you’d expect. We were pleased to see that area being put to good use as it always seemed empty in the evening once afternoon tea had finished and a wasted Space

Great experience, took my wife for her birthday. Great food, loved the turkey sandwiches. Only wished they would have recognised my wife her birthday as they did ask for the occasion both on the table and during the reservation.
