I hadn't been here before despite living around the corner and was seriously impressed. They had read that I was veg and the waiter had already talked to the kitchen in advance of some dishes they could alter to support. Service was excellent, food was great, lots of wine and non alcoholic beverage options that weren't pure sugar. Lovely casual lunch with delicious food.
