    Went at 4pm for happy hour, shocked at the number of people dining early on a Thursday. When we left at 5:30 the place was half-full.

    A warm and inviting space, humming with conversation, almost full at 7:00 pm. Service was brisk, prompt and friendly: no delays, good guidance. Salads and apps tasty and peppy. Mains hot with good flavours. Drinks good variety; house wine sold by the ounce: nice - more places should follow this example. Will go again.
