    Attentive service, amazing food, fantastic selection of scotch/whiskeys and we enjoyed a great bottle of wine with dinner. Ambiance of the restaurant is wonderful and its layout is broken up so while busy, the noise level doesn’t make you feel like you have to shout when talking with each other.
