    Our first trip to SEN since it changed hands from Firld years ago and we loved it. Brilliant service, wry accommodating for our toddler since there isn’t a choldren’s menu and my toddler loved her plate they made up. The Malbec was fantastic and my favourite dish was the Saigon-style pork belly from the Christmas menu.
