    Excellent, imaginative fusion food. Attentive staff. We had the set menu to allow us to try a selection of dishes, and we weren't disappointed! Really good value for money, but we could only eat one main course between us and had to take the other one away.

    Had dinner booked in the restaurant but moved onto the terrace as venue was not busy. We were still able to select from the à la carte menu. Food options were imaginative and all our party were impressed with the cooking and presentation of their dishes. I’ve docked a star on value as I personally find the mark up on wine in restaurants generally a poor practice and will ultimately do little to sustain the hospitality industry. Overall a great venue for a special occasion
