We went for dinner last week and found the food and service to be very good. My seabass was excellent and the rest of our table enjoyed risotto, tuna, surf & turf. Minor niggle was the slightly burnt sweet potato. Prices are a little higher than the norm however it's worth it for the view.

Thats good to hear Sue. I totally agree with you on the price, as long the food and service is good I would expect that they would charge a little higher due to the stunning location and high quality refurbishment.

Really looking forward to going to this place :D

We went for lunch. It has been renovated beautifully, very modern and tasteful and of course the view is lovely. The food was good, but there are no meat dishes on the lunch menu (except spag bol) which we found really disappointing as the evening menu had a really good selection. Thought this was unusual and it would put us off going again for lunch. If you are a fish or salad lover then you will be fine. Sadly we didn't have time to go on an evening.

This would make me think that the chef only works evenings and for lunch time they have a less skilled cook. If that is the case it's unlikely to have a consistent standard.
