Great food last night. Service excellent. Cocktails superb, as always. A little quiet last night so a subdued atmosphere but there’s little the restaurant can do about that.

Justina and Gareth are great hosts and take a lot of trouble to explain their cheese and wine selection. They know the origin of each cheese and they have visited most of their producers and have a great understanding and depth of knowledge regarding the taste of each cheese,and the appropriate wine pairings!
