While enjoying dinner in the luxury of this restaurant above the Traverse Theatre, Richard couldn’t resist finding someone to add to the barstars’ list. Who better than the man serving him several cocktails in the intimate bar? The setting is described as an ‘opulent interior of polished timbers, sleek copper trimmed lighting, sumptuous wall coverings, tactile fabrics in earthy colours and striking circular atrium with life size apple tree’. In addition to an a la carte menu there are excellent Market and Lunch Menus.
