We arrived 30 mins early and by chance our table was available in the extremely busy restaurant. The service was great and the food was delicious, will definitely return! The Scallops starter and Ox cheek main were outstanding!

Lovely atmosphere, starters great especially the prawns. Seabass great but Steak average though. White wine only 11% volume. Tiramasu brilliant. Good value. Will go back but I will check the wine volume first. Overpriced for 11%.
