    Just wow. Read a Grace Dent recommendation about a year ago and finally got to this fabulous restaurant. Food was simply delicious, so many great and variable flavours. Waitress was excellent. The owner was so attentive and extremely helpful with menu choices. Already planning to go back.

    Extremely accommodating, especially as I had made a mistake when I increased the number of guests and didn’t notice I had changed the day! Some of the party was very early but we weren’t turned away, which we were very grateful for. We have eaten there several times and relieved their same sense of commitment to their guests has not faltered, thank you for making our evening experience memorable and relaxing.
