Everything was perfect, the staff, the ambience, the food. The snack to start were amazing one looked like a mini tuna taco but was a roast dinner that was insane, also the lamb carrot dish was mind blowing, and the malteser dessert was so fantastic.

Rita’s is a go-to spot for me; the service was good, atmosphere busy but excellent and food is consistently good. We had bread and butter, pickles, fettuccine main as a starter, and then split pork and halibut mains with fries. All of it was really good; my only suggestion is for them to anticipate having more steaks on a busy evening. Our reservation was for 7:15 and they were out of all steaks on arrival; I would definitely go again and this was my third visit this year and hasn’t disappointed. Pasta was excellent.
