This was a return visit because we loved it so much the first time in December 2023.
We had the monthly menu and were not disappointed. The presentation was beautiful, but there was nothing overly fussy. Other menus seemed to have different plates for the same dishes (assuming that was to accommodate a larger serving as it looked to be from the lunch menu), but when you are paying more for the menu it would be nice to have the better presentation. It was for this reason I'm glad we did not do the tasting menu. The food was really beautiful otherwise, so can't take a star off.
The service was immaculate. No request was refused. The food came out quickly and there was no problem when we requested a small break between courses. Waiters knew the menu and the sommilier was able to assist in a suitable wine to match the menu.
Music was played softly in the background, but because of where we were seated next to the service area, we felt a little exposed at the start. We were the only ones sitting in the restaurant, and while it is great to receive service even before you realise you need it, it was a little awkward having the wait staff standing about 5 metres away watching while we ate. That is the only reason for the removal of a star. Perhaps a way to fix that could be to place the first people to arrive away from the service area.
Will definitely be back as we absolutely love this place xx
