    First time I’ve eaten here. Two course lunch menu, food was lovely but unfortunately we had a long wait for main courses and had to chase them up.

    Delicious and gorgeous as always. Took a star off as we were all looking for their gorgeous rib eye steak only to hear they’d run out as it’s now only on their specials menu. Disappointed as one of the reasons for going. But still an enjoyable evening.

    Lovely ambience warm smart dining club feel. Staff very friendly and helpful. There was a problem with a mistaken order but as soon as we pointed it out they corrected it and didn’t charge for it. Bar staff friendly engaging entertaining while making cocktails which were delicious. Only complaint noise level high making hearing conversation difficult more to do with Maybe lack of softfurnishing than true noise level.
