Great food and good service. The dishes were all very tasty and our meal went without a hitch. Very small comment relating to our red wine arriving after our main course. Good value for money and very pleasant ambiance. The restaurant was not busy when we went but that did not take away from the experience. Staff were attentive and diligent. Had not visited for years despite living locally but will go back again soon!

Another great experience at our neighbourhood gem! Tried their 5 course tasting menu & really enjoyed it. The souffle was super light & cheesy, the short rib nicely executed with lots of contrasting condiments, and chocolate caramel cremeux so morish I could have had another. If I had to be really picky, not all of the short rib was perfectly tender but it didn't take away from overall enjoyment!
