Devine tasting food! I had the lamb ragu on polenta which had the most amazing flavour. The service was very attentive without being overbearing. I asked for a Pinot Noir and was recommended a Calfornian red of similar caliber which was amazing. The ambience of the room was modern but cosy and the music at a pleasant level. Overall highly recommend.

A lovely ambience in a small restaurant. We ended up choosing sharing dishes built around gnocchi with cauliflower. The dishes were a good size and enjoyable. We are very happy carnivores yet ended up very satisfied with predominately vegetable based dishes.The dishes were warming and the meats on offer slow cooked and read as hearty and rustic. A good night!
