The service was very good and our waitress was very helpful. I found the Lamb to be excellent. The beef tartar I ordered was covered with small black chips. Seemed like a great idea over having crisps on the side. Unfortunately, the chips we're incredibly salty. They had a great beer selection of Stout and IPA as well as wine by the glass. Overall, I would return and recommend this restaurant to others.

This exceeded my expectations. Service was friendly and attentive. Food was sublime. Drinks were also exceptional. My only complaint is that we were sat by the window and it was so cold! Thanks again for an unexpectedly amazing experience. I'll definitely recommend to others and be back again soon.
