    An excellent new option in the area with laid back euro vibe, yummy tapas plates (we had the zucchini marrow special, broad beans, kangaroo croquettes to share and I had a lamb skewer and my friend had an oyster. All delicious), an inventive cocktail offering and warm and knowledgeable service. Highly recommended!

    The young man who looked after us for lunch on Sunday was exceptional He remembered us from a previous visit and was so attentive to our needs . The minute we arrived he made us feel welcome and throughout our lunch he made sure we well looked after . The food was fabulous, the best calamari I have had and my partner works in a fine dining restaurant so that’s saying something. Let’s just say our lunch ended at 6 pm we were enjoying our dining experience that much . We will be back thank you
