I took my wife here for her birthday. The restaurant and service were very nice, and the atmosphere was nice and relaxing. The food on the other hand was a little disappointing.
My Ham and mushroom tart was tasty, and the pastry was really crunchy, but overall it tasted a little over-seasoned. I chalked it down to the ham being quite salty and gave them the benefit of the doubt. Sadly my halibut main was also over-seasoned. Not to the point of being harsh, but certainly to the point of being noticeable. Maybe the lack of table water had an impact too? I'm not sure. Other than that the two dishes were very tasty and very well cooked and presented.

Overall the food was pricey, and therefore not worth the money. I doubt I'll be dining there again. A shame really as in theory it should be fantastic!
