Outstanding service. Outstanding meat. And an excellent focused wine list. Definitely recommend. The only downsides were with all the hard surfaces it is very noisy - don't take elderly peeps here. And the cheeky Tomato Oregano Salad which really needs a revite for the price. A sprinkle of brown sugar and seasoning some shallots and garlic. Fresh oregano would make a world of difference.
