As quickly as the food came out that’s how quickly it was finished. My partner and I ate it within 10 minutes in complete silence and were so impressed with how amazing the food was. Looking forward to coming again and actually savouring the food next time.

Lovely atmosphere and food, staff were attentive, helpful, polite and friendly. Desserts were rather overpriced compared to the rest of the menu. Overall, highly recommend and will definitely be returning. 😍
