We visited last night for a special Moroccan-themed dinner menu, inspired by one of the chefs from Morocco, and it was excellent. The menu offered a lovely choice of starters, mains, and desserts, and everything we ordered was exceptionally tasty, fresh, and beautifully prepared. I had the prawns to start, followed by the fish main, both of which were full of flavour. The dessert was especially delicious, and I really hope it makes it onto the regular menu. As usual, the service was outstanding: warm, professional, and attentive throughout.
