    A great place to kick off 2025. The restaurant was packed but the staff were friendly and unflustered. We were asked if we would like to move to a window table that became available - we took up the offer and enjoyed the wonderful view. Great assistance from a staff person in selecting our wine. Generous servings of food that was delicious. Minus 1 star for small portions of seafood in my pasta but aside from that I would highly recommend.

    Everything was off to a great start and the food was really lovely. The service started off great and friendly throughout but slowed down noticeably at the end when we had to flag for a bottle of water and order desserts - took 30 mins to get attention after we had finished our mains. Otherwise a lovely meal and we’d happily come back!
