This is a lovely restaurant, comfortable, nice lighting and the dining area is away from the bar, so as it’s gets busier, you aren’t surrounded by people who just want drinks. The food was lovely. The only thing I’d say is that for a restaurant with a name that suggests more plant based options. There weren’t many. From the mains, there were just 3 vegetarian options. A salad, a vegetarian burger, or a pasta dish. The staff were very attentive, and pleasant. And we would have given a tip, happily. However a 10% tip is added to your bill automatically. Which I don’t really agree with. But overall, no complaints. And we would return.
