    Food absolutely exquisite. Can't think of a more complimentary word otherwise I'd use it! Try the hot bean devilled eggs to whet your appetite they tickled tastebuds I didn't even know I had, I also highly recommend the gurnard special if that's still on as whoever's in the kitchen works absolute magic with that, and my companion said her asparagus risotto was the best she'd ever tasted. Desserts - we went with strawberry cheesecake and lime sorbet - also absolutely faultless as was the service from the delightful staff. Be aware that you will be elbow to elbow with fellow diners and the bathroom door if you're very unlucky but it's worth it I promise you.

    It was a great experience. Good list of wines, great meat quality, good prices and the service were excellent. Is not a fancy restaurant because it is on the Casino but it was the best casino restaurant we ever been.
