Welcoming, warm on a freezing cold day, excellent staff from cloakroom to front of house. Attentive, but not overbearing. Made us feel very special. Food appealed to all 4 of us and was enjoyed. Relaxing, not rushed. Overall, a great experience and can’t wait to go back.

If you need to rely on gluten-free dining, this is the best place for a great lunch or supper. They understand completely. The food is tasty, different, interesting. The music is a bit loud but when we were there they were happy to reduce it! Wine isn't cheap but is it ever these days?!
