Really lovely atmosphere, chill and casual. Wine was lovely and really enjoyed our charcuterie board. Only complaint is the proportions are slightly off...loads of cheese but comparatively little meat and nowhere near enough crackers. But absolutely delicious and you can order extras so not a deal breaker
