Friendly and helpful staff from start to finish. We weren't rushed whilst we wined and dined on delish food. Midweek lunch with the girls was enjoyed immensely.

My wife and I had dinner at Ms Ava for our anniversary and we loved it! We had the crispy fired prawn dumplings for starters and the porterhouse for mains. Both were excellent! I had also flagged that my wife was GF/DF, and the staff went above and beyond to care for her needs. We also appreciated the fact that we were given complimentary glasses of wine in lieu of dessert, as they were unable to provide anything to cater for my wife's dietary needs.

We visited this restaurant to celebrate my girlfriend’s birthday, and we had such a lovely experience. The staff were incredibly thoughtful and kindly asked us what kind of dessert we would like to celebrate the occasion, which was a really nice personal touch. The food and wine were both excellent, and the atmosphere was warm and enjoyable. The attentive service made the evening feel extra special. Definitely a great place for a birthday celebration or a nice dinner out. Highly recommended!

Neighbourhood Wine is a fabulous venue with a rich, authentic and slightly retro feel in its decor. The wine list is extensive, the Batardiere Chenin we chose was not amazing for the price paid, yet enjoyable. The staff were all exceptional, competent, and calmly efficient, and each projected a warm appreciation for their customers. The diverse menu is creative and well curated, we enjoyed each one chosen, especially the charred Rockling. We look forward to our next dinner there.
