Food, service and setting were all great. Portions a bit small if having the three course option- would recommend going for 4 or more courses.

Great Setting for a restaurant, calm tranquil environment.

Amazing food and wine pairings. Staff only professional and very knowledgeable. Staff amazing and accommodating. Super friendly. Best service I’ve experienced at a restaurant!

Food was great from start to finish. Only drawback was the meals seemed rushed, would finish a meal and a next would arrive. Spectacular mushroom soup starter and Salmon main dish with mint and pea purée. Will definitely go back to try the dinner options and wine pairing evenings. Great wine selections. Overall just excellent!!

Spectacular venue for celebrations! A must for any dining experience!

Service was excellent from waiter to wine specialist. The food was delicious and the flavour combinations worked well for the 4 courses. Unfortunately the portion sizes were too small which would not engender me to return. We had one baby gem between 4 people so 1/4 of a minature gem each for the main. For the gluten free person, one of the tiny steak portions had a flour based cracker underneath it and it was removed instead of being replaced with something gluten free. Gluten free portions of bread with starter were extremely small. We asked for one extra bread slice as we had two men and 2 women, and it was like asking them to steal something from the kitchen. I don't think one extra piece of bread is being unresonable. Still hungry at the end of the evening.
