Advantages: Delicious food and excellent service

Disadvantages: Might not be to everyone's budget

I was taken here on a date and it was fantastic. When we first went in we were seated on comfortable sofas and given olives and our order was taken for drinks. They also took our coats and hung them up. After a few minutes we were shown to our table. The decor inside is a mixture of brick/art pieces. It is very elegant as well as being quite unique. I had some kind of battered feta for starter which was delicious. For my main course I had butternut squash lasagne. It was served as a very small portion which the waiter asked me if i'd prefer a larger portion, but as i'd been ill I had a small appetite so it was perfect. The presentation of the food was quite modern but not over the top. For desert, my partner and I shared a sticky toffee pudding.

The food was all of very high quality and the service was fantastic. The restaurant was quiet when we were there but it was weeknight quite late on. The atmosphere was very nice and quite romantic with candles etc on the table.

I'm not sure of the price for the meal as it was paid for by my other half and I wasn't allowed to see! However from seeing the menu prices were higher than your standard restaurant but considering it is a 5* establishment and the quality of the food, did not seem overpriced.

I would go there again for a special occasion.

Summary: Excellent for a special occasion with a loved one.
