This was my wife an I’s third visit, and it has already become our favourite place to dine. We’ve always opted for the taster menu, twice at lunchtime. The value for Michelin star quality is outstanding. The wine flight is a reasonably priced addition and it superbly matched. The front of house team are discreet and professional whilst managing to create a welcoming, relaxed atmosphere, which makes return visits a certainty.
