Dined on 21 Feb 2025
We have been to 2074 a number of times and have had excellent food and service every time. The food is high quality, delivered quickly and very reasonably priced. The restaurant was relatively quiet for a Friday and they are certainly worth a visit. It's great that we have such a reliable restaurant with very welcoming staff on our doorstep. If you haven't already, give them a go- you won't be disappointed. We have been with different friends each time and they have all said how much they enjoyed it.
