came here for our anniversary meal from recommendations. so I changed our times and host was very accommodating, place is very dated and needs freshened up, can see the kitchen from where we where sitting which for me was a bonus , we had the early bird 3 course for 19.00 Pp plates where quite scarce for example lasagne was just a lasagne no garlic bread no side salad which for me was extremely basic and was quite runny , overall the food was good , drinks where a bit pricey was told 3.50 for a gin came to 7.00 including a tin of lemonade so for me that's expensive, lager is from tins and not pints, really no atmosphere, chairs are uncomfortable and no table covers staff absolutely excellent. would I be back .....probably

Service speed fairly quick. But the timing between courses was longer than hoped. But it was fully booked, so it's expected.. Also have some access to view the chefs cooking right in front of your eyes at some tables which is a unique experience, it's like being at hell's kitchen except there's no some mad chef swearing, all running well and smooth, food is fantastic! Best in the region by a long shot. Ambient place to eat, very cozy, clean and inviting. it's like being at someone's house relaxing and having 5 star food served. No echoey uncomfortable feeling a that other restaurants give off with too much open space, This is perfect. Not great phone signal in building, but does offer free WiFi.

Can't fault this establishment at all, the food was excellent, clean plates all round. The eating area is small enough to be cosy but not too small to be a crush. Definitely phone to book a table as it's always busy. Free on street parking outside at night or there is a large car park round the corner on Victoria Road. The servers were polite, prompt and well presented. I can highly recommend.
