Dine with them and discover something special; a unique and specially crafted menu of seasonal dishes, prepared with the finest specially sourced ingredients. They're always on the hunt for the best produce available, striving to consistently deliver the best quality with their award-winning fare.

We ate here on a Monday night. Delicious food and faultless service.
We used the tastecard for four people and had no problems using it. Due to the money we saved we treated ourselves to three courses which I would recommend as the starters and desserts are interesting and full of flavour. The menu is quite small which I liked as it means there is not too much decision making involved.
The only down sides were that they did not have the first couple of wines we initially asked for from the wine list so had to buy a more expensive bottle and the taste was not to my immediate liking and that the chef could not guarantee that the fish had been sustainably caught even though it says they source sustainable fish on their website. But all in all a lovely meal and we will definitely be returning with our tastecard! "

Had lunch here today (26.04.13). The food was superb and the staff were very friendly. It would take a brave person to try and stop me from going here again.

I discovered this hotel restaurant (and total gem) after my usual haunt (Grill on NY St) stopped offering their membership discount throughout Dec. I then revisited 5 times in 5 weeks due to Dec being the month of department, team, office and friends' Christmas meals out.
It's never been that busy (which I love) but then I'm more of a 'straight from work' kind of diner. The menu isn't overloaded with too much choice but there are half a dozen starters, mains and desserts just about all of which I had in my 6 visits (not the desserts).
It's a place where you order the sides as extras which, ordinarily, would annoy me but the fact that there's 50% off everything, I splashed out on 2 sides each time. The portions are a perfect size - not too small but not piled on the plate so you can't move afterwards.
The steak was top notch, the lamb, the pork and my goodness the Samphire! Didn't even know what it was until I had it on the first visit and now I'm hooked.
I would definitely recommend this restaurant and it feels extra special to be in a nice 4* hotel with staff who are well dressed (though not a snob in that respect), well mannered, polite and discreet. I can't wait to go back again.
Wines aren't the cheapest (it's a hotel) but a lovely French red, Chevancer I think, was very good quality and less than £20 a bottle.
Definitely give this place a try, its great!
Fyi, I LOVE Tastecard and use it a couple of times a week - I eat out quite a lot. "

" Superb restaurant. This is exactly what the tastecard was made for, the food is delicious but for some like me on a budget this place would be slightly too pricey. Having the tastecard makes it affordable once more. Food is special, especially the Scottish mackerel or duck, service from Glenn was fantastic as well.
