• "The atmosphere was amazing and so were the staff very friendly and made us all feel really welcome."
• "Love the cool 'house' setting when you walk into the bar but where you eat, the 'garden' takes the biscuit, cool little gazebos that you can eat in and a huge planted tree in the middle of the restaurant."
• "The venue is grand with the high ceilings and opulent features yet the decor is very modern and offers a more homely, laid back quality."

Cons:

• "We had dinner Friday evening no atmosphere."
• "No atmosphere, staff were really not interested."
• "The atmosphere is very dry and you definitely feel like you're in a hotel restaurant."
• "The decor is confusing... The art work is a picture of a garden with a blue bin that's been repeated... The ceiling is super high with brass pendant lighting and then there's random trees in places... It's quite fancy but then the bathrooms are the opposite of fancy with doors not locking, paper towels everywhere."
• "The lighting was really bright, it felt akin to eating in a cafeteria."
