I booked to celebrate my partner's birthday, a special place for a special person. We were welcomed with a happy birthday and shown into teh dining room where we were able to choose a table. Service was prompt and friendly, not pushy or intrusive, always respectful of conversation taking place and teh moment. The food was amazing and the size of the plates decent. Both of us had the ribeye steak with side salad and a lovely bottle of Rioja. Everything was spot on. Well done !
