    Booked online. Received confirmation and confirmed our booking. Arrived at restaurant 5 mins before booking time slot to find it closed. No sign on door to indicate why closed nor a phone call to explain. Quite poor form.

    Booked a table for two 2 nights before and got seated outside. Unfortunately the day was not good, it was cold and windy. Staff could not get the heaters working. Pizza order was also wrong.

    Perfect for a pre-theatre meal (or anytime really). Tasty entrees followed by innovative, fresh pastas for mains. Will be back.
