Amazingly delicious & fresh food, even though the portions were on the extremely small side, considering the price was so high. The Black Cod was literally 3 bites worth!! But the yellowtail carpaccio & salmon tartar were one of the freshest & tastiest I’ve ever eaten. I think being part of the hotel is why prices are steep. Service was very attentive but we were the only 2 in the restaurant on a Wednesday afternoon, no ambience at all, but decor & cleanliness of restaurant was very good. £65 per head, drinking only tap water and sharing 1 main course is very pricey though, even in these high food priced times, so unfortunately will not be visiting again.
