"Myself and my wife had dinner in the Cordyline Restaurant on St Valentine's night. We had a wonderful experience enhanced by the staff who were very friendly, attentive and efficicent. the food was excellent, the amuse bouches particularly good and the atmosphere very congenial. We will definitely be back and we have recommended this restaurant to all our friends. Price by the way was very good for what we got. Well done."
