Reviews
Visited twice - once with a friend and once alone - both times amazing service, delicious food, sophisticated and relaxed environment, reasonably priced. The house cheesecake, raisin sandwiches, omelette rice and Japanese steak (which was cooked exactly the way I wanted it) are particularly delicious! These meals are available at a restaurant separate to the main restaurant. Apparently Wildlife often visit and can be seen from the restaurant - we were hopeful of seeing a Japanese Racoon that visited around 8pm each night but missed out. Would definitely go back with my Family - there were other young families dining there as well - in fact there were diners if all ages - the menu seems to cater for many ages and tastes. Credit cards accepted and additional portions of the desserts available for purchase from the main building!
