The change of management is noticeable. There was hardly any interaction with the staff & overall atmosphere was less welcoming. The quality of the dishes are much the same as before - very good. However, the tables are cramped and had not enough space for dishes ordered we end up resting our bottle of wine on the floor to make room. I would think very hard about going back which is a shame as I was expecting it to improve after the brief closure for the refurb.

Food was good but service was shocking. We’re talking at least one hour wait between starter and mains. Not good when you have small children with you. For context it was a Saturday night but the booking was made well in advanced and they should have warned us it would be a long wait so we could have rearranged. Shame - used to be the gem of all Gems!

As always there; great food ,gread service, the best table in the restaurant...but the halumi salad was a bit ‘dull’ for £8.50. Fortunately I got something spicy in a pot to add to it but the salad itself seemed to be done on the stingy:just iceberg tomato cucumber and halumi. delicious but they could have added some fresh herbs or made the salad portion bigger.
