Had a great dinner with my family and a friend. We sat inside as it was a little cold out for me. I absolutely loved the Cauliflower Streak that I ordered as well as the sticky bun bread pudding. We all ordered something different and it was all very delicious and the presentation is what you would expect from a 5 star restaurant. Absolutely recommend this restaurant

Sunday brunch. Gorgeous views from the patio. Food very good. I had eggs Benedict, delicious. My friend had avocado toast. It came with cheese on top that she did not like, and it hadn’t been told to her when server described the dish. Server happily remade/ had removed. Her egg was a bit over done. She loved the bread and the greens were very fresh. Definitely all good but why I did not give food a 5. We totally enjoyed ourselves.
