    It was a special occasion, our 55 anniversary. From the monster sat down it was excellent. The waiter Michael greeted us by name, brought prosecco . The food and service were excellent. We were so relaxed and enjoyed the experience. It’s not our first visit and won’t be the last Alan and Judith

    I had the annunto salad to start. Apologies if I spelled it wrong. Delicious. Perfect appetizer. I followed with the Osso Bucco (lamb shanks) which was stellar. Tiramisu and espresso for desert. No complaints. Unfortunately my wife's ceasar salad was awful.

    Wonderful experience. It was our 25th Anniversary and we were sent complimentary champagne for a toast, vert tasty. Food was mouthwatering and the person sitting beside us actually paid our dinner bill without our knowledge. Our server, Liz was wonderful.
