It was a delight to find this restaurant. The warm atmosphere when we entered on this cold night set off a great evening. The fire is a definite bonus. Friendly cheerful staff and a welcoming ambience. Up-market decor. The meal was a good size, although the type of fish wasn't to my taste it was still good. The noise level was buzzing but not loud. We will definitely be going again soon.
