Desserts are great too and service is polite and reasonably quick. Highly recomendded.

We loved the food and service. Good menu..everything you’d expect really. If I have to be picky the focaccia wasnt as ‘quality’ as I would have liked but still tasty and didn’t detract from the overall experience. Will definitely be back.

The meal was presented well, looked hot and tasted really good. Today, i had the fixed menu for lunch , which offered a good selection of choice at a fixed rate Highly recommend and a must for a romantic occasion.

Great service from waiting staff the evening we went, very attentive to your drinks becoming low. Food on menu was a very good choice. Not too much but enough and covering many foods. It was nice to see in to the kitchen and watch them cook. Nevertheless the food was fabulous. Good portion sizes and full of flavour. Will definitely be returning.

The menu is varied and quite big. There was something for everyone in our group. The service was very good and the food was excellent. It was also good value. We will go back!
