Food was delicious and beautifully cooked. Portion sizes were just right and there was plenty of choice. Service was friendly, attentive and quick. Went for the valentines special menu and although it seemed a little pricier compared to the normal menu it still felt good value for the quality and amount that we ate. Appreciated the non alcoholic beverage options. Plenty to choose from and we had a very tasty mocktail. I would recommend highly and will definitely come again.
