    We went for lunch one Saturday so the restaurant was fairly busy but not too noisy and didn't feel overcrowded. My husband and son said the cheese souffle to start was the best they'd ever tasted! All of us were very happy with our mains, unfortunately nobody had room for a dessert! Would definitely go again, perhaps in the evening next time.

    I really enjoyed the evening. The atmosphere and decoration is extremely nice. The staff were helpful and friendly. My problem was that the burgers were overcooked. We asked for medium rare and they were borderline medium to well done. I would go back but not for burgers!
