- TTerriBedfordshire •3 reviews5.0Dined 4 days agoWhat an absolutely stunning little gem of a restaurant! The staff were very attentive, the food was amazing, and the drinks and cocktails were top end. We had the cod with pearl barley and cavolo nero, followed by a tiramisu martini and a Baileys latte for dessert. The restaurant was busy, but the staff and kitchen worked hard to produce a wonderful meal. We cannot fault a thing.
