    Excited to try this restaurant, for me it was pretty run of the mill. No real stand out dishes which was a shame. I would try some else before going back!

    Not our first visit. This time with friends who have also been before. Found the service and friendliness we've come to expect but one minor criticism is that some of the mains were noticeably over seasosoned. We did give this feedback on the day so I hope it worked its way to the chef. All in all not our best D&P visit but still great.

    The starters were nice, but the main course was disappointing. The steak was tough and the fresh fish appeared under cooked (personal opinion). The service was good.

    Mixed review as there was lots to like and the majority of the party were happy sadly I was disappointed however I am a harsh critic as food is my thing & I'm lucky to have eaten in many fine restaurants. It was my friends special birthday... id chosen the restaurant thankfully he loved it but my sloppy starter & burned dessert was disappointing. Pate and cherry flan Service from Jo was excellent...greeted warmly on arrival. Nice atmosphere. Bill reasonable

    Been here on many occasions; as previously, all top drawer! Fabulous food and service and great value with the complimentary wine offer. Can't think of anywhere else I would go for a special occasion or everyday treat.
