First time eating here and we were very impressed. Lovely atmosphere, food and service. Ours was a date night for myself and my wife, to round off a pre-Christmas afternoon in town.

We had a fantastic meal. Full of flavour and nuances. Delicately balanced and each course of the tasting menu was a delight. We were warmly welcomed, and looked after very attentively, even to the point of a staff member going outside in the chilly December weather to secure a taxi for us. Having a separate printed vegetarian menu was greatly appreciated, and enhanced the the experience. We will be back

Would definitely recommend. Food exceeded expectations; the starter, gnocchi with lovage oil was very unusual and just gorgeous, mains excellent. Service attentive throughout. Only negative was a very limited selection of wine, reds were all quite similar, but overall had a really nice experience and will definitely visit again.
