After a few snacks in the lounge we moved to the dining room for our 10 course tasting menu. Imaginative use of ingredients which were not too spicy. Surprisingly our most favourite dish was made from the humble potato served in a few different ways. Then back to the lounge for more food!

Excellent service. Very personable service from receptionist and from restaurant Nafiza who was efficient and friendly. Food was superb, fresh and cooked beautifully. The restaurant and bar and other facilities are superb. However the reason for 3 stars for ambience is the restaurant lighting was too bright and there should be some background music. The conversation of others was very audible. Low level music does help mask conversations and more so forces people to talk quieter. The lighting didn’t help as it was on full brightness level so it’s wasn't relaxed and other guests thought they were at home and were talking very loud. I hope this can be remedied as this is very minor suggestion but will transform the restaurant. We will definitely be coming back.

    Isaac’s on Saturday was an absolute vibe. We went for a hen do and the atmosphere was just lovely — cosy enough that you don’t feel overwhelmed, but still buzzing. The food was spot‑on with loads of options (literally nothing to complain about), and the mix of ages made it feel really welcoming. It’s the kind of place where you can sit down with a few drinks, have a chat, then suddenly decide it’s time to get up and dance. The singers were brilliant and the music choices kept everyone happy. All in all, a perfect night out.
