Ruby our waitress was very attentive - made sure to top up our wine and waters, insisting that we don’t do it ourselves as she wanted to look after us. She was a wonderful waitress that enhanced our experience. The food was excellent - we got the “As good as it gets”. It was excellent quality and tasted amazing. Cocktails were also lovely as well!
