We had dinner at the restaurant last night for the first time, and loved it. The food was great, and we were particularly impressed by the service.

Due to, um, administrative errors, we hadn't booked. I'd rung earlier in the afternoon to ensure that the chefs could sort non-dairy dishes, and was told that we'd probably wait for about 10-15min if we turned up at 7:30. Having looked at the menu, I was really enthusiastic about eating there and so we figured we'd hope for the best. When we arrived, the woman handling the downstairs dining area said, very apologetically, that it would actually be about 30min or so. She sent us upstairs to the area with the sofas, and told them to expect us. We were welcomed when we got upstairs, and then had a drink in very comfortable and not too loud surroundings. The very kind staff gave us updates on our table, always with a smile. The dinner itself was great (and the non-dairy was, of course, not a problem). The food was plentiful and delicious.

Next time we'll remember to book, just because it does seem a lot quieter upstairs, but all in all the four of us were really impressed
