    The restaurant had a quiet, cozy, and inviting atmosphere. The food and drink coming from the farm were absolutely delicious — we tried several dishes from the menu and each one was fantastic. The service was quick, the place wasn’t crowded and the staff were delightful. I will definitely come back.

    We had some issues with several of the dishes. In particular it seemed the kitchen, on this occasion, struggled to deliver fish dishes that were not far too overcooked - not great when you're asking for things to be rare or medium. And even if you're not asked (as was the case with one of these dishes) they should not be prepared like that. First time here and whilst not a great fan of the low tables and chairs we had an enjoyable time. Until... ca 2.45pm when all of the restaurant, literally every table, became an afternoon tea party. That drastically changes the end of a lunch experience and not for the better. We decided against having a pudding and more wine and fled the scene. Shame. Standout service delivered by Valentina.
