    The food was not up to the usual standard. I ordered the prawns. They were undercooked and tasteless. The service was also not up to the usual excellent standard. Disappointing!

    Excellent food and excellent service. Unfortunately I got a glass of house red blend and it had clearly been opened for a while. Not the biggest deal but when your price point is very high, you can't really afford to do this. I didn't make a fuss because it's not my style but worth taking note. Otherwise, I really enjoyed experience.

    Food was unbelievable, had the sautéed Prawn starter, prawns and sauce were delicious, portion was small though, another prawn or two and some sour dough bread and it would be 10/10. I then had the fillet steak, cooked to perfection with some lovely sides, the peppercorn sauce is lovely. Over all I would 100% recommend
