    Lovely setting overlooking Canal Foot. The restaurant has big windows affording a 180 degree view of the channel. Service was very good and all the food was exceptional! Friendly and efficient staff. Homely bar decorated beautifully. We will be back!

    Reminded me of my grandma's old people's home! Dated interior. A Christmas song came on as background music in August. Very quiet on a Sunday evening. Steak was pretty good, chips were bad. An interesting experience, but not one I would repeat or recommend!

    Amazing quality food, really well thought out and fresh. Not particularly cheap but that reflects the quality of the food, so it's not unreasonable. The location is great, lovely views of the seafront from the conservatory dining room. I'd recommend skipping starters, partly to cut the price down and partly because the main portions are huge.

    The food was really good - well presented, hot and tasty. The venue however is tired and in need of a revamp. The toilet area in particular is shabby and desperate for a modern make over. Not a welcoming look or feel to the place. Fortunately the quality of the food attracts customers and the wonderful location. Also I tried 2 white wines - both fairly poor quality.

    Great little place with fabulous views. The food was great with lots of choices and the staff were friendly and attentive. Only thing to note is that it opens at 7pm which is a bit later than we had hoped. Would visit again
