    The food was spectacular. We had the brisket and the lamb back strap. Cooked to perfection. Our service was excellent with a knowlegable server at our table. The noise level was low and we were able to talk and hear each other at our table.

    Standout dishes were the lamb ribs, lamb shoulder and the scallops- all 10/10. 9/10 for the Berkshire pork chop. Friendly staff. Informative waitress. Music was a little loud so it was a bit hard to converse across the table. Beautifully decorated and comfy chairs. We will definitely come again. 4 1/2 stars
