Booked for dinner with some friends and thought it was more of a Gastro pub. Was very pleasantly surprised - the food was excellent. Great menu choice and really high quality. Decor was lovely and overall restaurant was very comfortable with a nice atmosphere. Also liked that we could have dinner in the restaurant and then go downstairs for a drink afterwards, and the music was great in the bar.
