Excellent food, and the set menu was great value. Between the four of us we tried quite a lot of it. The restaurant was quiet when we went on a hot Saturday lunchtime, and the service was just right - attentive and friendly without being intrusive. I am looking forward to going back and trying the a la carte menu one evening soon.
