My favourite place for lunch or dinner. Book early afternoon to enjoy the view. Flavoursome meals never disappoint. Staff are attentive. Cocktails are spot on. I do miss the chocolate marquise dessert but the menu does change so I remain optimistic it will return.

Service was up to expectations and the restaurant had a nice atmosphere. The meal I chose for me let the experience down. Had the crumbed Pork Loin which was very salty and on top of the price of the main a side was required to be ordered as the main had no accompaniment’s which made this quite an expensive dish.
