Anniversary to remember, 15 Jul 2011
Reviewer: anonymous (Adventurousness: I wish i had married a celebrity chef!)

Comments: I was treated to a lovely night out recently for an anniversary dinner. This restaurant is something else. 6 course dinner with complimentary wines- this was superb. Such unusual yet tantalizing food and a very elegant setting!
