    Lovely restaurant with excellent staff, food, ambiance. I wear a hearing aid and can struggle in the noisy middle of restaurant seating, so they always respond to my request of a table at the edge and give us the lovely table near the window in corner where it is raised up. There are some outstanding dishes on the menu, corn ribs, chicken65, Kerala fish curry, biryani to name a few. Drinks are a little pricey, but food is reasonably priced for the quality. Friendly people, we’ll be back!

    Overall the firepit is a lovely place to have a decent meal out,the food was out of this world, you definitely pay for what you get, the staff were so welcoming and helpful with explaining the menu and nothing was an issue! I would say it’s probably not a venue you would want to take children. Would definitely recommend to family and friends and will certainly be returning again.

    The restaurant itself was fantastic. We took overseas visitors for dinner who were blown away by the old charm of the place. One issue was that the address and map in OpenTable took us to the wrong location. Fortunately, it was only about 20 minutes out out of our way, but it did mean we couldn't enjoy drinks before dinner. Strongly recommend that open table get the right address and update the platform.
