We found the restaurant spontaneously on Open Table and were delighted with this find. Great, creative and well executed dishes, and welcoming service. I liked the digital checkout though would have tipped more with a traditional bill where service wasn’t prescribed. Only strange thing was the waitstaff running (literally) fast into the kitchen - Perhaps they’re understaffed or the chef is a volatile one but it seemed incongruent in an otherwise relaxed and cosy setting.
