Really enjoyed our evening meal at the Queen's. It was our first visit and we'll definitely return. Delicious food, great beer, vast range of whiskies, friendly efficient service and a real buzz about the place. Only minor quibble was that the chips were too crispy hard for someone with sensitive gums.

My friend and I ate here to celebrate her 60th birthday. Everything was wonderful. She said the souffle was like eating "cheese air" -- just lovely. My seabass was fresh and perfectly prepared. The wine was yummy; the dessert decadently delicious. The service was great -- solicitous and friendly, but not intrusive.
