    We have been coming here over the years on a sporadic basis - but the food tonight was the best it’s ever been. Every single thing we ate was fantastic (especially the crystal bread - best bread I’ve ever eaten) - huge kudos to the Kitchen team. Unfortunately service didn’t match the food or surroundings - wasn’t very engaging or warm, and we had to go to find someone to pay the bill despite explaining we had an event to go to. Highly recommend for the food & fantastic wine selection.
