Very enjoyable evening started with drinks on the balcony before moving to the dining room. Steak was very nice and I loved the complimtary condiments available in addition to the sauce. The selection of house wines in the restaurant are absolutely great value for money and very good quality. Absolutely charming staff who are a credit to this establishment.
