Staff really attentive, the food was amazing. I would totally recommend the tasting menu. My husband had the wine pairing, each glass was explained why it complimented each dish. Suzanne

Service was excellent. The staff were kind and attentive especially with regard to nut allergy for one diner, once we had informed them, the waiter checked carefully with the chef.

Busy and loud, not quite fine dining by any means. Service was good but order of service and course explanations improved, I could tell food was also sitting for slightly too long

Saturday lunch (set menu with wine pairings) was amazing. We were the first to try the new set menu and wholeheartedly recommend. Staff were wonderful, Covid precautions were good. Will return.

Friendly, good food, excellent atmosphere. Issue with the bill that had to be thrashed out. Ultimately a reasonable solution but required more effort than it should. Would certainly visit again.
