Birthday dinner here with nearest and dearest. The nights are darker at this time of year so we didn't get to enjoy the view as much as last time but this dining room has such a gorgeous location. We all enjoyed a three course meal and every single bite was perfection. Service was good and the ambience is relaxed. For sure we'll come back here again for future special occasions. Such a lovely treat.

Enjoyed a birthday celebration with my family. Food excellent. Lovely staff, very helpful. Owner, as a courtesy picked us up at the local train station and dropped us back their at the end of the evening as the road to the restaurant is very steep & narrow. Would definitely recommend
