Service was delightful and orders for drinks Anna food taken swiftly on arrival. Meals arrived in perfect timing even though the restaurant was fully booked. The entire’ and mains surpassed our expectations with the rump and Barra cooked to perfection. The delicacy of the scallops and quail also a sensory explosion. There meals were a great portion size and after seeing the desserts going to other patrons, I could have squeezed it in. Amazing value!!!!
