The restaurant is very beautiful but can get quite loud. We really enjoyed the round table up above the lower seating. The view is amazing from the lower tables. The offerings of non-alcoholic beverages are great and also very closely priced to the alcoholic beverages.

We had a very enjoyable evening, with delicious food in a cosy booth. The only complaint we have is that there was a draught coming from the fireplace and apparently the fire cannot be lit. Suggest covering it up as it was a bit cool for people on the end seats.
