A great welcome from Pauline as we came in , asking for our first names which she addressed us by all through the service.. the restraunt has a lovely atmosphere, a homely feel to it..the menu is good with plenty of choice and also the same with the wine list. The food was excellent , the scallop starter in particular was delicious and the fillet mignon was cooked perfectly and tasted great..all in all we all enjoyed it very much and will be going back again soon. Thanks to Pauline and the team for a lovely night..

This has to be one the best dining on the Wirral and easily competes with Liverpool. It's Narnia, tucked away to round the back and what opens up is something enthralling, exquisite and sublime. Thought and detail to decor, crockery, ambience, ingredients, food served and your comfort is highly sophisticated, whilst relaxing and not daunting. Absolutely beautiful dining from a wonderful team.

Many thanks to Chef Chris, we always enjoy your food Sir, and thanks to Pauline for being a very attentive host and Julian for his knowledge of wines. You guys always knock it out of the park! Truly exemplary in every way! We can’t wait to return for our next special dining experience
