    New place. Great service. Had the miso cod side broccoli and the tiramisu. Cod was excellent and the tiramisu was amazing which for me is rare. It’s usually fine but nothing special. This was great.

    We were running late & it was no problem to move our reservation time forward an hour although they were very busy. Staff are lovely, took time to chat with us although very busy. We shared the Pulled Pork Croquettes starter, which was a good idea as it’s a large portion. I had the Wild Seabass, which had so much flavour, delicious. My husband had the Supreme of Irish Chicken which was equally good. We also shared dessert of Lemon & Lime Tart, beautiful fresh flavours. I will have no problem recommending this lovely restaurant to family & Friends. I certainly will be back. A really great restaurant.
