“There is nothing about this place I don't recommend. The meads are amazing, their Cocktail Master is amazing at coming up with unusual combinations, and is great fun to talk to. The music mix is great as well (but possibly because I'm old 😁)! Overall, the place is extremely welcoming, with a selection of games and sofas so you can sit and enjoy your drinks and socialize.“

“Chicken strips were crunchy and juicy cooked to absolute perfection. I also ordered fries with cheese sauce and got an extra order for free with an order a wings . Was probably a mistake and I hope the other people that ordered them got theirs too because it’s freaking amazing. I could bath in this cheese sauce. If I had teeth I’d use it as tooth paste. 10/10 would recommend.“

““The Gallery made my wife’s surprise 75th birthday celebration absolutely unforgettable. Cecilia handled every detail with warmth and professionalism—helping me find a photographer, musician, flowers, and balloons that made the evening shine. Guests enjoyed passed hors d’oeuvres followed by a beautifully paced five-course dinner, complete with honey-inspired cocktails (using our own honey!) and a honey mustard salad dressing the chef created just for us. The food, wine pairings, and service were all outstanding—friendly, polished, and perfectly timed. The room’s unpretentious elegance and local artwork created the ideal setting for a night full of laughter, connection, and joy. Mission accomplished!”“
