    The entire staff here is the best; they always take great care of us! The lobster salad is exceptional, which is what we had this trip! The fresh baked madelines are always a great little treat after lunch.

    10/10 absolutely amazing. Tried a little bit of everything. Started with the whipped feta, octopus and carppacio. Then had the lobster special with mashed potatoes. Finished with the strawberry rhubarb tart. Had an abundance of drinks, which was also amazing. Will be back at least once a month. Our waiter was also a 10/10.
