    Such a special spot. The menu is small, considered and perfectly executed insanely good food, simply must try, the fit out is gorgeous and warm and the staff are lovely. Seriously worth a visit, they're doing breakfast on weekends now and it's delicious!

    The staff were friendly,helpful and welcoming. Couldn't fault their service. The food was absolutely delicious. We had a 3 course meal and every plate was divine. Thank you chefs !!!!!! The only down fall is the high tables in the restaurant are more like something you find at your local pub. I wouldve though "Lennon's restaurant " would only have ALL the table as a restaurant table not bar table for some and a dinner table for others and you don't get to choose.
