    My food was very good. I had salmon followed by the most delicious and tender veal, and then a shared apple tart. My friends also enjoyed their food very much. It's a lovely place to go to, and it's so enjoyable being able to hear each other.

    We returned to our favourite restaurant in the area and was not disappointed with the quality of the food and wine selection but as always it is the wonderful service from Jade and her lovely team of helpers. Josh continues to miracles in the kitchen and we urge people to support this jewel of a restaurant

    We went to celebrate a birthday and it turned out to be a truly special occasion. Usually having a menu that fits on one page bodes very well as this suggests a focus on fresh ingredients and doing fewer things very well and indeed this was the case on this occasion. The food was truly exceptional (we had two courses, main and deserts) and both were absolutely amazing in terms of the quality of ingredients, taste and the way they were prepared (no half cooked veggies as one is often presented with in the UK). The desert was a little journey of discovery, combining different yet matching tastes, textures and presentation. Service was prompt and attentive yet never obtrusive. This was a rare occasion where the whole experience was absolutely fabulous!
