Our server was Daniel, he said Happy Anniversary to us when we first sat down, which showed great attention to detail. He then asked if we wanted our anniversary treat at the beginning or the end of the meal, we chose the end. The food was phenomenal, we ordered the chateaubriand with a few sides and it was delicious. We then got sticky toffee pudding, which Daniel told us was on the house for our anniversary. Everything about the evening was perfect and we were not rushed from the table and ended up staying for 2 1/2 hours. This place is a go to for our special occasions as we can always guarantee amazing service and amazing food.
