I have been invited there by our local suppliers and we had a good time. Oysters are very different than what I have been used in France. There are less salty and less iodine taste. Which is better for me. The Halibut was just fantastic. I did not set 5 stars because for the price it could have been much better.

Top notch service, top notch food. There is a reason this is one of the best restaurants in the city! Went for a work function - seafood chowder was delicious and almost a bit smoky or bacon-y - amazing though! Lobster gnocchi was perfect portion size and clearly handmade pasta - delectable sauce with it by the way! Ended with date sticky toffee pudding - that is a deadly delicious dessert they've created!! Also had the boreal explorer (can't remember if that was the exact name) cocktail - highly recommend it. Overall, a fantastic experience - the chef came out to say hi at the end and asked if our meal was good - what a class act! Just shows you the pride they take in their establishment. It's pricier but entirely worth it if you want an excellent meal out:)

Atmosphere is fantastic, we were informed by the head chef that it is the second oldest building in the city. Food was awesome, everything was done perfectly, the staff were very friendly and helpful. The live music was really good, not overly loud but enough that you could make out the song. Well worth the price, will be back again.

One of the best restaurants in town as far as quality. Price is quite high but that comes with the reputation and quality food. If you're looking for a place with outstanding ambience and great service then this is it.

Press gang is such a lovely experience. It's absolutely stunning inside, the service is spectacular and they have live music (a pianist) some nights and it just makes your time at the restaurant romantic and lovely. They have a large selection of scotch and the food is so so delicious. It is a bit pricy but worth it for a night out, either celebrating a birthday or anniversary or just being out.
