Incredibly welcoming, great vibe, moody lighting and music. Service was so so excellent, our water glasses were never empty! Attentive to special requests and sensory accommodations. Mains came out perfectly after entrees, leave enough time for the crumble (20-30 mins), and the thyme custard cake was divine.
