    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.
