This restaurant was strongly recommended to us by a friend who had very much enjoyed an evening there. The service was attentive and friendly. The menu was not too big and had a good cross section of dishes. The food was excellent, we will definitely return. The only thing to mention is the toilet is in the Unity building and requires staff to keep an eye out to let you back into the restaurant!
