    We went for a birthday, the food was good but the tables were packed in, it was very cold in the restaurant. I pre-arranged a birthday candle / handwritten birthday message with the restaurant to go with dessert and they forgot. Overall disappointed.

    We had a wonderful evening in a cozy place. Excellent atmosphere in a slightly dim space, but it felt very warm and inviting. The service was outstanding and, most importantly, very personal! The food was exceptional, especially the ham croquettes—they were delicious. Great selection of wines on the menu! Definitely worth a visit, but make sure to book in advance as it’s quite popular!
