I celebrated my birthday here. Splendid view as it was located just beside the river. Requested to write Happy Birthday on dessert plate and the service was more than that I expected. The chef even made a bonfire on the dessert plate 🤩🤩🤩 soo beautiful.

Good service, food was ok and decent value. Great tempura prawns, light crispy batter, and the prawns were a decent size and juicy... a more flavoursome dip would have been good, but they were very nice. Fish goujon ciabatta's were a bit of a mixed bag... one was ok, the fish fingers were ok with a decent amount of fish filling, but the others were hollow vessels of breadcrumbs with slithers of fish inside. I was hoping the coleslaw would cut through with some bite, but unfortunately it added little flavour. We weren't hungry leaving and there were some really good aspects of the dishes, but they did lack consistency and some flavour. Peroni was cold and crisp.

The food was deliciously rich and bursting with flavour and and the portions were more than generous. The waiters were very attentive and couldn’t do enough for us. I found the music in the bar to be a bit loud for my taste, and the floor was a little dirty in the restaurant, but overall it was wonderful. I’d definitely come here again!

I attended a 40th birthday celebration at this restaurant. They were happy to hide a birthday cake we brought and present it when we were ready. As we were such a large party, the adults had to pre-order with a non refundable deposit of £10 each and the children ordered on the night. The staff were great with our demands and so attentive with the children, much appreciated. The food was delicious. Having had the Goats cheese starter followed by the sea bass, I couldn't fault them. Vanilla cheesecake for dessert with just enough compote to not be too bland, it was nice. They take card and cash payments and are patient enough to sift through a large bill as we all paid separately. They had a well stocked bar with something for everyone. £5.70 for a single Parma violet gin with lemonade. More than enough bar staff to tend a busy bar area. Would eat here again.

This restaurant was so picturesque at night, made even more so by the lights and the surrounding water. I would say this is a perfect date night spot. It was virtually empty when we went but the service was immaculate. Although the food was presented beautifully, the flavours and textures didn’t wow me, however I would come again if I ever decide to revisit the city.
