Always lovely. A few small niceties have been stopped (like warm complimentary bread rolls with meals) but 2 course with wine deal is still good value and the food is always outstanding.

The food was unbelievable as always. If there was another bartender on, I think we would’ve got our drinks as quickly as I like. A nice touch that the owner came around and asked all of the diners if they were having a good experience. I would eat here every night if the bone marrow was put back on the menu
