    Amazing food and service. The pork belly was so succulent and crispy top and hake was excellent too and the soufflé was worth the wait! The serving staff were exceptional too.

    Excellence all around. We were celebrating our wedding anniversary and The Court treated us to a glass of bubbly and a “happy anniversary” plate decorated with chocolate and fruit. A lovely surprise that made our day all the more special. We were also treated to lovely music from a pianist. cannot recommend this restaurant enough.

    Quiet, relaxing experience during the Sunday Roast. Food was excellent. Ambience was set by the pianist and harpist. Special thanks to our wonderful host Kim, who went above and beyond to make this experience very special for our anniversary. Side note: we ate here four other times (breakfast, brunch, dinner, Sunday Roast) and stayed at the Caledonian for five nights. Can't say enough about this beautiful venue and the wonderful staff. Thank you kindly and hope to see you again soon!
