Food was excellent and the staff were lovely… the only slight observation was that staff didn’t really check the table for water, wine or napkins. We had to ask a few times for these. But other than that the experience was great.

This restaurant is a firm favourite and never disappoints. The staff are friendly and attentive but not obtrusive and the food is excellently presented and very tasty. The ambience is forget and must and I love the booths which afford a sense of not sitting in top of fellow diners which I’ve experienced in other venues . Many thanks to all for a wonderful evening and we will be back
