    The restaurant looks lovely. The food was great, the staff were very attentive and polite. The only down side was the cold coming in every time front door was opened. The staff were very apologetic and moved us twice until we got a table further away from the cold draught. If only there was a way of blocking the dining area from the entry, it would be perfect
