In good weather or not, the views are wonderful. At night there is no view! But in daylight for lunch or early supper it's amazing. Service and food always excellent.

An old favourite, wasn’t sure how it would be after takeover by Brucan. Still a lovely venue, though ambience rather spoiled by the fact that we were the only people there for most of a Thursday lunchtime. Service is lovely, and chef adapted a dessert for diabetic requirements. The price has certainly increased but the quality is still high.
