I had high hopes for this restaurant and after a night at the White Horse, it had a lot to live up to. The food did not disappoint. We had the mixed seafood platter, which was very lovely, fresh and spot on. The staff were friendly and knowledgeable and didn t seem pretentious at all. The layout of the restaurant however, left us feeling rather uncomfortable. It was bright and spaced out, which didn t make it feel very romantic. It made us feel like we were being observed by others and not at all intimate. The dated pop music didn t help matters either. It wasn t in keeping with the trendy upmarket vibes of the menu and website.

Overall great food and staff, but they need to take a step back and think about what vibe they are trying to set.
