    From arrival with friendly smiling and accommodating staff, to the smile when being handed our menus, and being seated - all just wonderful experience. I was entertaining a long time business friend from overseas - and we both commented how wonderful the location, ambience and views were - with friendly service, genuinely happy staff and just all in all a wonderful experience. Thank you! We dined and had a drink on Thu 7 May - fabulous!

    We dined at The Fireplace Restaurant during our stay and had an exceptional experience. We were looked after by the wonderful Gretel, whose service was warm, attentive, and truly exemplary. The degustation menu with wine pairing was absolutely divine, with each course beautifully presented and perfectly matched. A genuine five-star dining experience. We would definitely return to The Fireplace Restaurant again.
