    We had a lovely time celebrating our 12th anniversary. From the greeting as we entered to the lovely staff that served us, we were spoilt. The drinks were great and the food we ate was delicious.

    Excellent food, and superb wine list by the bottle. Relatively minor quip: Wines served by the glass were more glou glou for the most part(as is often the case). Would have loved to see the option to have something Coravined and offered by the glass or carafe - or maybe at least offer some 375s? Too bad I was not there with a large party so we could order a couple of bottles.

    The food was delicious and cooked just right - the steak was a perfect medium-rare, the pasta was al-dente, the cocktails were great and the dessert was delectable.
