We had the best waitress! Service was quick and not too long between meals which was good. Food could have been better as I went with someone who’d been before and was left a little disappointed. Overall good evening.

Firstly, we arrived at the restaurant at 16:55, nice and early. And when we came in we were told they only start dinner at 17:00 and therefore will seat us at 17:00. We waited by the bar in the meantime. We waited for quite some time, we assumed maybe they were running behind in terms of setting up. Then another couple walks in about 20 minutes into our waiting. The couple was seated immediately. The lady at the door took no interest in us, we literally had to approach her and ASK to be seated cause we were kept waiting and no one paid any attention to us whatsoever. Once seated, it took about another 5 minutes or so before a waiter attended to us and informed us on how the restaurant week menu works. I must say, our waitress was very pleasant and I was happy with her service. I absolutely loved the starter, I don’t quite remember what it was called but it had lamb and pap. It was delicious! The main was below average. I enjoyed the lamb chop, it was cooked very well. The cauliflower was undercooked and the beetroot was too overbearing, it ruined the meal for me. The dessert was also delicious, I enjoyed the ice cream combined with the shortbread. Was not a fan of the dark chocolate. All in all, the food was okay and the service was below average. There’s hardly any ambiance, they could have at least played some soft music or something. I personally would not go back to this restaurant or recommend it to anyone

"Best fine dining experience so far!"

Chefs table has easily been the best fine dining experience I’ve had so far. It’s my number 1 favourite restaurant after last nights experience. The gnocchi (vegetarian) main course was delicious!
