Fantastic food and service - really top quality. Lovely atmosphere, though a little dark where we were seated. I would have preferred to be able to see the presentation on the plates better. Perhaps Christmas decorations hung on light fittings were to blame? Can't overstate how good the food and service were. All wait staff was amazing. Thanks again for a great evening
