Our second visit , somewhat disappointed this time . Two of three meals were very good , but one of those was their second try . Brought out an incorrect meal and tried to convince my wife it was right . My lobster scampi was totally over done - Difficult to even remove from tail shell . Despite these issues , not even an apology from the waiter , when we could even get his attention, let alone perhaps a coffee on the house .

Never disappoints! Food select terrific - all delicious. Service excellent - family-run so take pride in all aspects of the dining experience. Lovely ambience - festive but not too loud. And a wonderful value on top of that! My only fear is that it will become too popular and subsequently hard to book.
