I recently visited the restaurant with family for Sunday lunch. The service staff were absolutely excellent. However, the food fell short of expectation, and few of us finished the whole meal. The potato and pudding in particular seemed to have an overpowering flavour of butter, and the chicken a bit dry. The restaurant although lovely inside, lacked an atmosphere, no music playing and it was deadly silent. It's a shame, as the service was so good. A few simple tweeks could dramatically improve the experience.
