Overall we had a nice time but were a little disappointed by some of the dishes and the portion sizes. We opted for the tasting menu and felt that we didn’t get great value for money. We had a nice time but wouldn’t be running back again. The starters and dessert were divine but the main courses were left a lot to be desired. The chicken and fish portions were very small. The chicken was blackened and very spicy The service was really good and we couldn’t fault the friendliness and attentiveness of the staff.
