This was our second visit to the restaurant and as with the first time we really enjoyed it. The food was lovely. We went for lunch and ordered 5 small plates between us which was plenty for a lunch. The staff were really nice and the service was good. We will definitely visit again and can highly recommend this restaurant.

The food was poor and small portions. The staff were friendly but not professional- the waiter dropped a dirty knife on my son’s trousers whilst clearing. They were not able to describe the food and you got a sense they were not trained. All around very amateurish.
