    The shared starter of squid was excellent but not enough for two people, I had the Queen prawns which were fabulous. My husband had the Prawn curry which he said was very good but very small portion for a man, I understood why the two Fish mains were not available as this is dependant on catch of the day. However Peppermint Crisp and Chocolate torte were not available leaving only two deserts to choose from and a very expensive cheeseboard. I had the Creme brulee which was average. The waiters and waitresses went out of their was to attend to us. Just one small thing desert spoon go on the right if setting again for desert. It is a very new restaraunt and overall we were quite satisfied with the evening. One little tip get Google Maps sorted as it takes you to a small road with no entrance!!!!
