When I booked, I choses an outdoor setting, however, as the weather turned, I asked for an inside table - As it turned out, it would have been perfectly fine outside. The staff were attentive, polite and helpful. I was surprised when a decorated plate of icecream turned up with a candle and they sang Happy Birthday to me. The food was 'top shelf' and we will certainly be back!
