The food was excellent. You can mix and match whatever you want, or don’t want. We chose the lobster and king prawns linguine, and were very pleasantly surprised to find a half lobster (not just pieces) perfectly cooked in a creamy white wine sauce. FANTASTIC. Thank you. The ambiance of the restaurant, the attention of the staff was impeccable. We had a lovely evening.

A family get together (5 diners) on a Friday lunchtime. Good service and food enjoyed by all. Ambience was good but the restaurant was not busy. The second time we have dined here and both times have been excellent.
