Having enjoyed several meals here we were keen to try the often sold out wine dinner experiences. We were not disappointed! The amazing head chef had created an inspired 5 course menu which was creative and delicious. All dishes were excellently paired with carefully chosen Italian wines. The atmosphere was so warm that it honestly felt more like a dinner party amongst friends than a restaurant experience. Fantastic evening.
