We had a lovely evening celebrating a friends 60th birthday. The service was great, we weren’t rushed at all to order our food. The food was delicious, with a variety of options available. Lovely setting, lots of space between the tables so it was easy to talk. Would definitely be back.

Had a lovely time as always. Only thing to consider would be to prioritise seating close together for large groups without having to go into the private dining option.
