I had a lovely experience in this charming restaurant. From the entrance to farewell the owner and staff were friendly and helpful. I truly felt welcome and was shown to a lovely seat. My guest wanted to change tables to a quieter spot which was accommodated. The food was excellent. Coffee and biscuits were a highlight, as was the seafood spaghetti. Would definitely recommend!!
