Perfect restaurant for a very tasty lunch on a Friday with a good friend. We weren’t hurried at all, plenty of time to chat. Delightful staff and good lunch deal which includes a glass of wine. Will definitely use more often this winter.

Really Amazing service, very attentive and really helpful recommendations for choices. We had a party of 6, I had a few questions before our reservation and they got back to me super quickly. Plant based menu was amazing - really great choice. Highly recommend the mushroom wellington! All the food was great, (only reason for a 4 rather than a 5 was other groups feedback that they didn’t have the crab). Lovely building and location, over all a fantastic experience- so much so that we have booked a private room for Christmas Lunch 2025 already!!
