What an unbelievable experience! The atmosphere, the service and the food were all incredible. What a treat! I have to also make special mention of the pianist who was excellent. I didn’t want to leave!

Was a lovely meal, carefully prepared with excellent service. Portions could have been slightly bigger (but we are probably bigger eaters than most).

"Lord Nelson "

We certainly enjoyed our dining experience, our waitron was very informative and while we were waiting for our food we had a variety of breads and butter and pallet cleaners its the small touches that captured us, at the end of our dinner we also received mini sweet treats chocolate and some apple toffes. Overall the food was delicious and the whole ambiance was dreamy.
