    Food was lovely and beautifully presented and there are lots of veggie and GF options. One slight negative, is that there are only two mocktail choices (plenty of other soft drinks). Staff are very attentive and our waiter even bought out a plate with some sweets and happy birthday drizzled in chocolate over it for me after overhearing that it was my birthday meal. We were there on a quiet Saturday lunchtime but this was great for me as I can't deal with too much background noise. I imagine it can get loud when all the tables are full but on a hot Saturday in July - with the doors open and a breeze coming in - it felt wonderfully relaxed.
