My girlfriend and I went here on a date night and ordered the tasting menu. The food was excellent, especially the sirloin, and the service was very good. We will be coming back here again.

My partner and I dined here for the first time tonight. We ordered the feed me menu - omni for him and vegetarian for myself. There was no issue when we asked for my food to be made vegan and gluten free. Some replacements had to be made to suit my dietary requirements and everything was absolutely delicious. The wait staff were very friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere was calm and romantic. We are looking forward to going back.

It was a really busy night, a Tuesday night, and I don’t think they were expecting soooo many people, so they were a bit short-staffed (it happens), but we had a great night. Fantastic atmosphere, piano bar music playing live, good cocktails and wine choices and we really liked the food. A great time was had by all.
