We were a party of four and it was the first time for any of us to eat there. We were sat immediately having had a reservations and the server and food was amazing. The manager checked on us quite a few times, as with other tables, and helped out when needed as the restaurant was at capacity. The harvest salad, chicken tandoori pizza and bread budding were my favorite items we ate. They were fantastic and are large to share if wanting to try more items. Give them a try. We are hoping to go back soon.
