Heard great things and it did not disappoint - we are both vegan, and they whipped up a special menu for us for the evening. Service was perfect, wine was great and food was executed perfectly - so much flavour. We will be coming back.

Excellent food and service. Hadn’t realised there would be live music on when we booked online so it was a bit noisy for us and difficult for conversation. There should be a way of showing this when booking on open table. It was also a different t menu and price to the one we expected.
