This was our first visit and we opted for the bar space. You have the option of a la carte or a five course menu. We totally recommend the five courses option. We started with a cocktail where I had the Daisy and my spouse chose an old fashioned with a twist that had Armagnac. Both were amazing and carefully crafted. The food is beautifully presented and the flavour profiles have been meticulously procured. The service is extremely professional and each course was provided with a proper description of what we would be dining on flavour wise. Absolutely would return without hesitation. Thank you so much to all the staff for the lovely evening.
