    The staff were friendly and welcoming. We stayed a long time chatting and they didn't ask for the table back until after nearly 2 hours. Lovely food. I hadn't realised the kitchen closes for food at 11 when I booked the table for 10:30 but that was probably my own fault. Beautiful setting with great views and lovely decor. We were all very content leaving.
