"Upon entering the lounge, we were transported back to the 1940s with its vintage look and menus from the era. We had heard great reviews about this place and were excited for a unique dining experience for a birthday celebration. The atmosphere was certainly unique as we giggled hysterically for 15 minutes before being escorted to the restaurant, which felt more like a front room in a residential care home. The decor consisted of mismatched pictures and curtains that seemed fragile. Despite the lack of music, we enjoyed our starters of spinach feta tart, pate, and avocado salad. The lentil soup had a beautiful smoked aroma, giving us time to let our food digest before our mains arrived. The beef with vegetables and potatoes, as well as the salmon with a pesto crust, were served with a bowl of shared vegetables and potatoes. The cauliflower cheese melted in our mouths (literally) and seemed more suitable for residents with no teeth. The homemade profiteroles at the dessert buffet were delicious, although we wished for some pouring cream. The tea and coffee were served at a suitable room temperature, and the waitresses were lovely. Despite some quirks, such as the lights going out for my birthday cake, we found the experience unforgettable. With a revamp and facelift, this place has the potential to shine, especially since the chef prepares everything from scratch. Overall, a memorable dining experience worth trying."
