The food is outstanding and the service is very good. The approachable friendly staff add to the experience. If you can see if there is room downstairs. Better ambience. The wine list could be a little more varied as well. Overall though, great place.

The coffee didn't arrive and had to be chased. I ordered the corn fitters which were dry with little else on the plate to give it a lift. The café was busy but not frantic.

First for breakfast upstairs - I had the poached eggs and bacon. The eggs were on the cooked side rather than runny. Doesn't worry me, though other people may prefer runny. Bacon was fine. Coffee I found a bit variable and more on the light rather than bitter robust. My companion had the omelette for the second time in a week which was fine. Lunchtime is more of a star in having Italian dishes. My colleague and I both had the chicken and mushroom risotto. This was my second time in two weeks with the risotto. Last time, I found the rice slightly underdone. This time it was perfect - slightly creamy. The chicken was larger bite sized pieces and likewise the meaty flavoursome mushroom. Green salad was green salad - could have done with a variety of leaves. The downstairs (basement) room has a bar feel and is a great space with retro modern decor. A relaxing place for lunch with excellent dishes and attentive service.
