Hadn't been in years, even started going there in late 90's! Food was lovely and, as a local hospitality group, you know it's not mass produced food etc. Our server was lovely, happy with the optional 13% service charge for him. Will definitely be back on my map.

    Love this bar, let down by the time we had to wait for our food! The staff were fantastic though and gave us a free drink. The food was lovely and we will definitely be back.
