    The beef we ordered was overcooked and bland. The starters were tiny and outrageously overpriced. The overall cost for the evening was absurd and completely unjustified. I expected a pleasant meal, but a woman performing music made it hard to hold a conversation with my partner, forcing us to raise our voices to hear each other. It was an awful experience.

    Good table with plenty of room for 2. Our waitress was lovely although the supervisor was less friendly. Food was great , service almost too efficient except drinks service which was a bit slow. Good atmosphere for a rainy Sunday evening
