    Anika was the best server I have ever had. I’d rather never go to another restaurant again than be served by anyone else. She is a queen, a mentor, a vision. I couldn’t have dreamed up service like this if heaven brought down servers and gave them to me at a nice restaurant. The timing was impeccable and Anika deserves a raise of at least 69% PER YEAR. This feels like it’s almost too much, but it’s not. If i met Anika in a dream, I’d wish it was real life.

    The food was excellent and the service superb. Steak and salmon were cooked perfectly, and the pasta - both the seafood linguini and lamb pappardelle were superb. So much seafood and shellfish in the linguini that a take away box was needed! It truly is "my new favourite place"!
