Namely, that it is a space in which guests feel utterly taken care of. We are open Monday to Saturday for lunch and dinner. We very much hope to see you soon.

    Fantastic experience from start to finish ! The staff was attentive and professional, but super friendly!We went the a la carte route rather than the tasting menu and glad we did! 4 amuse bouche started the meal with an eel dish , a lobster dish, pea and mint , and stuffed chicken skin’ Then I had crispy sweetbreads,Lee had scallops tartar, followed by duck for me and cod for Lee. The 2 dishes I had were outstanding with a great mustard sauce for the delicious sweetbreads, and the duck had stuffed morels and a smoked egg to add to the fun. The fish dishes, particularly the tartar was great as well. That was followed by 4 desserts, an apple ball with a custard inside, core teasor, lots of chocolate surrounding custard and ice cream, a lemon meringue parfait, and then little warm chocolate tarts with melted chocolate inside.Fabulous in every way!!
