"creative, nicely cooked on every plate we enjoyed. the portion size, especially the main courses. was meagre. a collective estimate suggested barely 2 ounces of venison per portion. this was made up for with all the nice extras, good bread, nice amuse bouche, excellent petits fours. I have one real complaint. in a visit lasting 2 hours and 20 minutes, we were asked if we were OK for drinks on 14 occasions by 5 different members of staff. I stated at one point that I was driving and couldn't partake, but it made no difference. Very, very annoying. "
