    Expensive, but a lovely buzzy atmosphere, friendly and efficient service, and fabulous, well prepared food. Our birthday meal was slightly let down by a couple of menu items that weren’t available and no cold champagne! 😱

    Fabulous anniversary meal. The food was delicious and the red wine was exceptional. We sat just outside as it was a lovely evening and the service was not impacted. The staff were all very pleasant and conversational and they made us feel very welcome. I would highly recommend a meal here.
