"And the food was perfect - straightforward and quick, but nonetheless imaginative - exactly what you need after a musical overload of the senses." READ REVIEW
"Reports suggest that the less poncy food served in the other sections is better and cheaper than this more exhibitionist stuff, which makes me think Puolakka might consider refining her philosophy more into line with "Simple is good."" READ REVIEW

"Everything – with the exception of a rather unremarkable sticky toffee pudding – was done very well indeed. In fact, we almost came away thinking that we’d like to come back and try the fine dining." READ REVIEW
"The grill and bar menus look to be equally full of well-considered gastronomic ideas. Whether the kitchen copes as effectively when crowds rush in, as surely they will, remains to be seen." READ REVIEW
