We booked very late on the day and I asked to be seated inside if it was possible. They allowed us an hour inside as the table was booked after that. The food was delivered promptly . The meals were amazing. I had the chicken breast in master stock and my partner has the veal schnitzel. Both beautiful meals. Wine was excellent and service top notch. The booking on our table was cancelled and we stayed on the table for the night. Excellent service food and atmosphere.
