I went for breakfast and requested a slight change to a standard menu item, but it was initially served incorrectly. However, they quickly corrected it without making me wait too long. The waitstaff were very kind, and the environment was clean and bright. It's a place I would definitely like to visit again.

Excellent food with the right size portions for a 3 course meal. The complementary small tasty soup is a lovely gesture and all the courses are beautifully presented and taste great. Warm but unobtrusive service and no rushing customers to get the table back. Highly recommended.
