    New Years Eve. Lovely setting, decor was great. Possibly due to where we were sitting, the singer sounded less than ideal, the wall blocked the music and isolated the very loud vocals. Food was decent, the soup starter wasn't particularly tasty, but the fish starter, catch of the day main and steak were good. Service was excellent and friendly. Overall we'll come back on a regular day and give the standard menu a shot (it looks great).
