    Although we had reservations, the table was not ready, then they seated us in a table in the walkway. When we asked for another table they claimed that it was for 3 people. After we sat in the walkway another couple came in and seated them on the table they claimed for three people. They added their gratuity to the bill without my consent.

    The food was outstanding and as it was our 40th wedding anniversary they were kind enough to offer a dessert with a decorated plate. Nice touch. Thank You!

    Gone a little down hill, it’s not as good as it used to be. More attention needs to be paid to maintain the standards of the previous years

    Food - first class. Atmosphere - perfect for business lunch. Service - good. My only comment where this restaurant could improve was that, (whilst I fully appreciate that I turned up at 11-45am and you only open at midday,) it would’ve been easy and perhaps courteous to invite me to have a seat somewhere quietly whilst I waited for my guests - Instead, I had to wait outside like I was waiting for the shop to open? I would’ve thought an establishment such as this would’ve been a little more accommodating over a matter of 15 minutes and with its’ status as a high end establishment, that’s all.

    Classic Italian food done expertly with great charm and enthusiasm. A very popular choice for those in the know. Fresh high quality ingredients are noticeable and service is swift and confident. One is not interrupted with constant questions about how good the food is (unlike other places) as they know their cooking is first rate.
