Went for the lunchtime brunch menu. A bit slow on the service side even though it was pretty empty when we first arrived. Waiters were nice and polite and food was fine. They didn't have salmon so two of us had to switch from our eggs Royale order. On my Open Table booking I recorded that it was a birthday meal, but the restaurant didn't mark this in any way.
