Firstly they allow dogs.Secondly though busy they provide good service and try and stagger the sittings to give the kitchens a chance. Thirdly the menu is decent, the food is tasty and well presented and in huge portion sizes.Thoroughly recommended.

Ate here on Sunday after a walk around the gardens. Service was prompt and menu lovely. I was just a little disappointed in the quality of the bread for the toasties and the overall cost, felt it was high for the food served but I guess they gave a captive audience.

Exquisite seafood-focused tasting menu with interesting Japanese influences, but not being gimmicky or fusion-y. It's more than just a "one-man" show now as the chef has staff to handle the front of the house, but Bruce also likes to chat with diners after their meal, which is awesome experience. He's a charming, enthusiastic host, and his energy manifests in all of his dishes.

Went on the recommendation of our B&B landlady. Good ambience and menu, service friendly but slow. Our mains arrived after 45 minutes, but no starters, they had somehow âgot lostâ. Food was well presented, good quality and reasonably priced. The floor area around our table best described as âstickyâ. Although the overall experience would not put us off visiting again, I got the impression that the place was perhaps resting on it laurels and could do with refocusing on customer service.
