    Lived up to their (well deserved) 5*. Fab location. Ate outside in beautiful weather however the inside seating areas were certainly inviting and will book to come back later in the year. Food was well cooked and presented, staff very friendly... and not an expensive choice. Keep up the good work!

    We have been on a number of occasions previously but this was incredibly disappointing. From the surly service of our host; no discourse, snarled when my daughter asked for a J20 .. "I don't know what this is" .. to just dumping down our water on our table, to the lack of acknowledgement and apology for the chipped glass for my beer. The food as always was excellent, but the service was INCREDIBLY disappointing and not in keeping with previous experiences and also what I'd expect as a customer. Don't patronise or passively criticise your customers. It's not acceptable.

    We had the most fantastic staff members which made my father's birthday so special. Monica was amazing! She was super friendly, helpful and went above and beyond to make our family dinner something to remember. She checked with the chef with my food order to make sure I was able to eat it (as I'm pregnant) and suggested alternatives if there was something I was unable to have. Monica also remembered that it was my father's birthday and made him very delighted as she did a little celebration for him with a candle. Thank you so much!

    Asked why there is no seasoning in my food (I mean it, none) got told there is salt on the table and that they don't season their food. Quite shocking.
