We had a pre-Christmas business lunch in the restaurant. The food from the seasonal menu was top class with interesting options. Service from the team was attentive and friendly. Just a shame more people weren’t there to enjoy the experience as it was very quiet (mid-week), but that’s probably a sign of the times. Great spot, located on the river front. I will be back!

We were greeted very pleasantly when we arrived and shown to our table. The servour ask if we required water for the table without us having to ask which was ideal. Seat was at the window overlooking the river and ambient music was to our liking. A good variety of options on the menu which we had viewed online so service was prompt. Wine complimented the menu perfectly and the cheese board which we shared. A most enjoyable experience was had. We shall return.
