The food was absolutely delicious, every single course. We wanted to kick our plates so to speak. The portions were perfect and every element of the degustation was perfect-presentation, flavour, balance. We cannot wait to go again and have been listing people we can take so we can go again and share the experience with others. The service was professional and friendly and the chef was sincerely interested in our enjoyment of his food. He was friendly and humorous. The entire evening was excelle
