The restaurant is known for its amazing food, great service, and lovely settings. The venue is perfect for events and can easily be transformed into a dance floor. Guests have had pleasant experiences, with personal and friendly staff being a real advantage. While the food is excellent, some have found the menu to be a little limited and the prices a bit high. There have been mixed reviews on the ale selection, but overall, the atmosphere is beautiful and the food delicious. The paintings in the restaurant hall give a unique vibe to the place, making it worth a visit for a culinary experience.

We were very disappointed with the inexperienced service, which was actually our own fault. Our food was very dry, but that was because of our choices. To make matters worse, someone pretended to be us and took our table, and we were informed about this. It's a shame because this restaurant had the potential to be so much better.

I recommend adding more vegetables and reducing the amount of potatoes. The risotto balls were slightly lacking in flavor. It would be convenient to have more space in the booths for coats and bags.

This restaurant has deteriorated significantly since the new owners took over. The serving staff is lazy and clumsy, resulting in slow service. Requesting more bread took 15 minutes, causing the cooked Brie to turn hard. The shared steak was lukewarm and the triple cooked potatoes were hard. Despite being a longtime patron, I will not be returning after my recent disappointing experiences.

A great venue for couples, large groups. Staff were very polite but service could have been a little quicker.
