    The food was wonderful - beautifully cooked fish - and the location and ambience were just as I have loved for 25 years. But something was off with the service when we visited. Nothing disastrous, but not the seamless and attentive experience you would expect at this kind of restaurant and price point. Overall, though, a lovely evening.

    It took long time to have someone to serve you menu and took long time someone to take your orders. Food were absolutely fantastic and selection of wine was also very good.

    We had a fantastic double birthday family dinner. We were looked after amazingly by all the team and enjoyed the most delicious food. Our fish was perfectly cooked and all the dishes were faultless. We all agreed it was one of our best nights out. It was also great to not have to chase staff for a wine glass top up or new bottle as this was all carried out so well, which is sadly rare these days. Many thanks to all the team.
