“The chef catered to my vegan dietary preferences - we’ll be back again!”

After a big week at work, I decided to go and take myself for lunch here. Places high up aren’t always great - the view can lead to complacency. But the food here is good. They had a £49 three-course lunch deal with half a bottle of wine included and it was good value for what it was. I started with the chicken liver parfait. Why? Because as Donkey in Shrek so eloquently put it: “everybody likes parfaits! Have you ever met a person, you say, ‘Let’s get some parfait,’ they say, ‘Hell no, I don’t like no parfait’? Parfaits are delicious!” It was the right sort of rich and smooth and was balan

The place is very beautiful but the overall service felt dismissive and unwelcoming. We ordered two tiramisu drinks and clearly specified that one should be alcoholic and the other non-alcoholic.

The service started off attentively but noticeably declined as the restaurant got busier. I requested a cocktail menu that never arrived, which was disappointing. The amuse-bouche was underwhelming—simply a small portion of soup served in a shot glass. That said, my starter, the courgette flower, was absolutely delicious. Unfortunately, the main course (roasted hake) was dry and tasted like it had been left too long on the pass. Overall, it was a pleasant evening, but I’m not sure we’d return in a hurry. The price didn’t quite match the quality of the experience.
