Really good Dining and a Wonderful Stay!

generous serveperfect fillet steakattentive wait staffsufficient children's meal

Dinner was really good! I had a delicious low-gluten chicken steak, and the serving was very generous. The fillet steak was also cooked to perfection. I commend the chef. The wait staff were attentive and provided coloring for our children. The children's meal was enough for my two young children, both under four.

I found the music from the pub and rooftop bar a bit disruptive. I could hear the music until midnight.
