    The food was delicious, we all chose from the £12 set main menu. This is the second time we've eaten here. Lovely air conditioned restaurant- the temperature was over 30 degrees outside, but it was lovely and cool and not too cold as it can be with some air conditioned places. Our meals came with a lovely selection of fresh seasonal vegetables in dishes to share which we loved. The tables had linen cloths and serviettes which is rare these days. My only criticism was that we waited quite some time for our food orders to be taken. Baring in mind that there were only 3 other diners in the restaurant, one who had already eaten, this was quite poor. But overall it was lovely and I wouldn't hesitate to go there again.

    A flawless evening from start to finish. From the very first welcome, the team set the tone for an exceptional night, attentive without ever being intrusive, and thoughtful in ways that genuinely surprised us. When we stepped outside for a smoke, they came to ask whether we needed a heater. That kind of care says everything. The food was delicious and of excellent quality, which is ultimately what brings you back. The décor is elegant and refined, the music perfectly curated enough to set a mood without overpowering conversation. We were a party of five celebrating a birthday, and the restaurant went out of their way to make it special: a complimentary Prosecco and a beautifully presented plate of petit fours with a “Happy Birthday” , a small gesture that left a lasting impression. This is what hospitality looks like when it’s done right. We will absolutely be back.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
