“Amazing place for an ultimate surf and turf. Widest array of fresh meat and seafood selection I've recently seen in the UK, paired with equally if not broader selection of wine. Amazing cooking, lovely staff, great view. And the price paid for it is less than a third of what you'd be paying in London!”
