    This is one of my favourite restaurants. The food is always exceptional and the staff are warming and welcoming. Can’t regard this establishment highly enough for a celebration or just a lovely night out.

    Everything was fantastic except for the very cold draft/wind coming through the restaurant from the courtyard, it made it very uncomfortable, we even thought about leaving it was that bad, they did eventually close the door which helped but every they opened that door the cold came it

    Spaghetti marinara was horrible way to thick to much sauce plenty of seafood but was like eating tomato paste. Hawaii pizza was not cooked in the middle. Husband and grand daughter had the tortellini carbonara said it was amazing Over priced Portions generous Was so cold should of had gas heaters Waitress told us there was only 2 floor staff so we will be waiting for our meals but they will try to make it not over the top so long
