    The food was incredible and service was exceptional. We came here to celebrate our son’s graduation and everyone genuinely shared in the happy occasion. Highly recommend the steelhead trout for the table. It comes with salad and sides, and is meant to be shared. Everything about it was delicious, as were the desserts we ordered (poached pear, and rhubarb and lime tart).

    The service was excellent. The servers wrre lovely, and offered me 3 tasters to choose my wine, which was excellent It was a bit noisy so hard to hear our conversation. The food was mixed. One person was very happy with her food, another said it was quite good but not excellent, and mine was okay, but nothing special. I would say the value for money was sub par.
