The staff at the bar and in the restaurant were very friendly and welcoming, I didn’t feel rushed at all. The food was also delicious (I had the sea bream) and portions were very generous. Lots of great options on the menu so have to come back to try them :).

Delicious food and very good service. The tables are very close together, so you can feel squashed with other guests. We didn't have the table for as long as I would like, so it did feel a bit rushed.

Very original food, we had the prune, the egg, the iberico salad, the crozetto, the flatbread and dessert. Everything was amazing! The prune is served with an incredible balsamic vinegar, and is introduced as you would for a wine. This was already an experience in itself. All the other dishes were so flavoursome and the flatbread is a must-have! The dessert was a rhubarb cake served with a shot of rum, and was the perfect ending to a feast! We will definitely be back
