    Food and service were excellent and the lunchtime tapas offer was very good value for money. I scored lower on the ambience as it was empty all lunchtime, only one other table occupied and they sat at the next table to us! Also the music was a bit loud.

    We literally went there thee times in less than a month during our trip to the UK. Everyone was so sweet and manager Emma - couldn’t have run things more smoothly or been sweeter. Felt like friends serving us verses strangers. Of course the food was just as good as the staff and I love the Greek options with the Little Ark wine and Mastikha digestive. An amazing and memorable experience. All the good we ordered was delicious and none was left on the plate.

    Nice restaurant, the music is a little bit up and down in terms and volume and hard to have a conversation at times. Food was nice, although our chicken skewers were a little too on the pink side but we notified the staff and they were taken off the bill without any issues. Staff are attentive, but allowed us time to enjoy our evening and we didn’t feel rushed. I would return & recommend.
