    Had chefs table ( sit at counter overlooking kitchen) for 4 . Restaurant is cosy, maybe a little cramped, but good atmosphere. Service was a bit clunky with a delay getting menus etc and an error on our wine order, but otherwise very good & a free dessert was offered. Food was excellent , well presented & interesting options. Pricing was more or less in line with the standard. Definitely recommend .
