    My reservation was at 9.15pm. I arrived on time and was asked to wait at the bar whilst they prepared my table. At 9.45 I went back to the front door staff to see what was happening. At that point they advised that they would eat me now. I was given the menus and 10 mins later I got the attention of one of the staff, turned out not to be a waiter, to advise that I was ready to place my order. I saw her explain this to a waiter at the time. 20 mins later, having not been even acknowledged by a waiter I left the restaurant. A couple at the next table, who had the same experience, left at the same time. I was disgusted at the level of service! I can't comment about the food as I never got to taste it!

    The environment has welcoming and very well presented and the sevices was attentive but not overbearing. The standard of the food was exceptional, but the only down side was the cost at £155. for two people, which included a pre meal drink, a two course meal and a bottle of wine. The cost just took the edge of what as proving to be a really enjoyable experience.
