Fantastic Staff and Location

really good service good quality food
The staff provided really good service. A team made great efforts to find us a table when the restaurant was fully booked. The location is ideal for the RSC as it is visible from the window. The breakfast menu features a variety of options, and the food was of good quality.
I found the room to be cold, and the radiator was initially turned off. This. It would have been better if the heating had been on beforehand.
