The restaurant is lovely and the service and staff were great. Although the food was very good the portion size is very small. I think it would be described as nouveau cuisine. As long as you are not hungry it is fine.

Lovely people, very attentive service without being overly so. The food was beautiful. The chicken liver parfait with toasted brioche is to die for ! The atmosphere was relaxed and it was so nice not to feel rushed. My only request would be that optional sides return to the menu.

Easy booking process. Arrived 5 minutes early and taken straight to the table. Extremely attentive waiter. We were served promptly, which was important as our next stop was the tattoo. The food was delicious and we enjoyed the wine.

We had a great evening here, the food really was special. Across our party of four, we sampled a broad range of the menu and nothing came up short. My The ‘Ginbiscus’ cocktail was divine! The service was excellent - attentive but without smothering, meaning we were able to savour the experience. It isn’t cheap…but you get what you pay for!

Top honors all around. Very easy to make a reservation on line. Menu and beverage selection were excellent. Food choices were intriguing, well described, and each in our group had something different.. fish, chicken, beef, lamb. Exquisite starters as well. Desserts were superb. Staff were absolutely wonderful. Couldn't ask for a better dining experience. Bravo!

Visiting for the 2nd time. The food was excellent. We both had the pate for starters which was super tasty. My wife had the braised beef which she thoroughly enjoyed. My fillet steak was also cooked to perfection. Service was first class. All staff made the effort to interact to make you feel looked after/recognised. They even managed to accommodate us with a table for drinks after our meal before we headed to the concert at the castle. Excellent experience. Well done guys! 👏👏
