    Really excellent food from starter to dessert. Friendly staff giving attentive service without being sycophantic. No upselling or trying to tempt us with add-ons. Thoughtfully put a signed postcard from the head chef on the table, as I had booked for a birthday meal. They also gave us a free dessert. Will definitely return to eat more of this delicious food.

    Fabulous vegetarian food served by gracious & kind servers. Portions are always generous and food is fresh and tasty. The only minor criticism is that there are too many tables packed tightly together so it can be difficult to get in and out of the seats. This restaurant is a regular in our lunch time location as the food and service is consistently excellent and they make everyone feel welcome with kindness and patience.
