Very quiet when there but service staff were efficient friendly and helpful. Food was a little tasteless and dry over the 4 different dishes we had which was a shame!l

Quite a frustrating experience. The food was pretty good for the most part, but we had to pre-book the prix fixe menu, which was then sold out of 1/3rd of options, including the vegetarian one, which they then wouldn't offer an alternative for. The vegetarian burger we then ordered looked like emaciated McDonalds and was not good enough at all. Not really a great experience. Probably won't go back.
