Great food and great service. Place is all done up nice for Christmas. We’d gone on the day of a rugby match so was really loud and busy and was hard to manoeuvre about with two octogenarians in tow. BUT, that was on us, we didn’t know about the game, and the food and service more than made up for it and we’ll definitely be back.

Mixed bag - really good service, reasonable food at reasonable prices (lunch). But the place is empty! No atmosphere - not sure what needs to change, but something does to bring people through the door. Shame, because staff are great and the interior is lovely.

Love this place. Food is consistently good - Italian with a dash of wider Mediterranean - well-chosen and fairly priced wine list, and lovely friendly service.
