We ordered 2 apps, one of them was the arancini. Arancini came out cold so had to return it. Miso cod was very good as was the pasta dish we got. Drinks were good but were better the first time we visited. Banana souffle was delish. Perhaps because it was a Sunday night, it was very quiet and didn't have a usual vibe.

Service was really bad. Our server did was not familiar with the menu. She also left mid-meal without leaving us with another server. A random server finally offered us dessert after dinner but it took way too much time to come out even though there were very few people dining left.

Had the chopped autumn salad which was really very good.The Spanish octopus was terrific. Had the Scottish salmon and it was great,although I didn't care for the sauce. The service we received from our waiter,Anderson was first rate.He really went out of his way to make sure we had an enjoyable dinner.The restaurant itself is beautiful with a beautiful setting. All in all a good restaurant with the potential to be a great one.This was my second visit and I will be going back.
