The food was lovely, the staff were excellent but the music was just too loud and not really needed. It wasn't at all fitting with the ambience of the restaurant. Looking around, I could see 1930s style and elegance with a modern twist but the music that was being belted out was Saturday night rave stuff ! We asked for it to be turned down a little and it was but it was still too loud. I wouldn't fancy having an afternoon tea whilst listening to that ! Everyone has to shout to be heard above it, which makes the place very noisy indeed. I would've given 5 stars otherwise !
