    It’s a nice little restaurant for a catch up. The food is good and the wine average/good. The ambiance is so so. They could do with some music. There was none last night and we could tell you almost word for word what the two chefs were talking about as they had to shout over the noise of the grills and fryers. That said it was actually fun to watch and listen to them. My biggest issue with sitting at the bar is the seats are too close together. Anyone with a bad back avoid as both myself and my mate were crippled after an hour. Choose the other seats by the window if you have the option.

We normally have music playing to create a better ambiance, so we apologize that it was missing during your visit. We’re also sorry to hear the bar seating wasn’t comfortable for you. Your point about spacing is something we'll look into, as we want all our guests to be comfortable. We hope you’ll give us another chance. Thanks again for sharing your experience.

    The staff was extremely attentive and made the dinner enjoyable throughout. The food was fresh and delicious, and the chefs explained the ingredients and flavors to us. They brought our dessert with a candle for one of our birthdays :) It was a lovely dinner, and we will visit again.

    Great food let down by poor service. We were an early table but the place was empty and were rushed throughout. at 5:40pm whilst we were finishing our last dish (having only been there an hour) the manager told us we needed to leave by 6:15pm because our table was booked. We understand they need to turn tables but they made us feel so unwelcome we didn’t have a dessert or port so paid the bill and left. Sad end to what as meant to be a nice valentines dinner.
