Booked a table for 1.30pm on a Saturday. Seated on the first floor which wasn’t full. Food and service was excellent as usual.

We had the January Bistro special offer lunch menu. All very tasty but fairly small portions so some sides are needed. The waitress was very pleasant and attentive.

We moved here almost six years ago and this is the nicest meal we have had in a city known for its variety of restaurants and cafes. Highly recommended.

Absolutely gorgeous! We've eaten many times at the already much-missed Burnt Truffle, Wreckfish/Wreck and Pinion, but this was our first visit here. We had Sunday dinner - one beef, one duck confit - but we both agreed that the red wine jus meant that we could have enjoyed the meal without the meat! Each came with roast potatoes, mashed root veg and kale, plus a Yorkshire Pudding with the beef. We took the wine recommendations, which complemented the meat superbly. For dessert we had parkin and set vanilla cream, both of which were superb (and taken again with the matched wines). One item of note. We arrived at 4:50, for the latest booking time at 5pm. There were no diners. Then one of the waiting staff went home. We weren't looking forward to a meal by ourselves. Thankfully eight others in three parties followed us for 5pm bookings and the small downstairs room buzzed throughout the evening.
