We booked for the theatre of magic valentine day dinner. We have previously seen theatre of magic so knew that would be excellent - the restaurant is lovely, staff are excellent, we did find it a bit noisy however will know to ask for a table next to the window or in the booths next time. Food was great I felt it was a lot for two people however we are not big eaters, maybe when doing this again, have all the courses as shared. Could not fault the food though it was all very tasty and presented well. We will definitely come back for a meal.
