   Usually great place, but today i have to say it had no atmosphere food very average veg like rocks meat wasn't tasty at all , its expensive too so you do expect more , also got glass of procecco and the was half full , not good probably won't eat there again , which is a shame as it usually is great and we been going for about 8 years now , also didn't like the fact menu was set either 2 or 3 courses and waitress needed to know at start what you wanted. We were celebrating our anniversary and was so dissopointed,

   Place is nicely decorated and it was reasonably quiet until a big party came in. Service was hit and miss to be honest. Food is very expensive for what it is and how much you get. We ate here a few years ago and it was better then.

   The meals were very good but the absence of a wine list is pretty unforgivable. We were given a choice of types of white wine available but weren’t advised of the price and ended up being charged £39 for a bottle of Sauvignon Blanc. We would in future insist on seeing the price list before making a choice.
