Good effort but could try harder for the price. Food is good bit for 45 each for three courses and a drink I wouldnt expect to pay extra for vegetables. I would expect to be offered a drink when my glass was low. I wouldn't expect to have to goto the bar to pay.

A beautifully decorated and tastefully furnished bar and restaurant. A really good menu - not too ambitious and with an eye on quality. The service was efficient, attentive, professional and friendly.
