Angelos has changed over 25 years when I first went their . The time of day mid week the place was 90% setup for a function so it didn’t have the feel of being in cosy restaurant like it used to be. However if the place was fitted out for normal seating then it would have a different atmosphere. I guess I just turned up on the wrong day. Definitely is a great place to hold a function but the room is not separated between function and normal dining.

I’ve been going to Encasa for years. It’s consistently great food and equally great friendly service. The garlic prawns are a speciality.
