Have been guest of the Prince of Wales hotel and always enjoyed our stays. Noble dining room has always been great with good food and great servers. Fred leads the pack as their talented sommelier who is superb and one of the main reason we dine at Noble. Frank and Graham are also excellent. We missed Ana for breakfast but Michelle did an excellent job. If you want to experience a little bit of going back in time The Prince of Wales is the place to go and Noble and Churchill's their pub, make this a great place to enjoy wine from an extensive list, great staff and comfortable rooms.

The food and service were amazing. The high ceilings lead to the space being a little noisy as it fills with people. And a large party joined while we were there.Otherwise everything was great, food portions are very generous and good value, the flavours were spectacular and everything was delicious. Our server was wonderful, thanks Danielle! Highly recommended!
