    Excellent food and service. Easily walkable from guest house section of town. Staff was very accommodating to walk-ins and food came out quickly and hot. The seared goat cheese, fig and pastry app was next level as was the chocolate/baileys marquise dessert.

    Quite pleasant, food decent but not outstanding. Wine list ordinary. I’m a wine lover so wine list diminished the experience. wouldn’t rush back but ok.

    Well priced good food. Service not terribly attentive. Had to ask for second glass of wine, maybe, etc twice. Mayo never came. Manager was excellent, three young ladies not as attentive.

    Good food and good service, an enjoyable evening had. However, why are the desserts served with vegan ice cream……it’s a pretty awful substitute for the real thing.
