I’m lucky to experience some great restaurants in my time and this one is right up there. Nibbles, starters and mains cannot be faulted and the famous Leek dish which I was told about was amazing. In particular the service was one of the best I’ve experienced. We had a waitress called Shelia and she was a great help in us deciding what best to eat and having knowledge on all the dishes. Great charm across all the staff and amazing personality throughout the evening Will be definitely coming back with friends and family!
