                                          When I go out to eat, I need to be fed. The food was gorgeous, so tasty, but I need more! I left satisfied but jot full and for a 500e bill (2 x bottles of wine) that just isn't acceptable. There is no option to order additional sides with dinner, and considering these TINY portions, this essential. I would be back for the food but please, make the portions bigger!!

                                          Booked for our anniversary on recommendation from my brother. Had asked them for a special table and they delivered. a lovely quiet and private spot. I'm very fussy with my food and expectations but the quality was simply superb and a fantastic wine list. I selected a nice chianti which went well with the steak. the creme brulee was the best I've ever tasted. Just disappointed we had to leave!!! will be back for the next special occasion. Just one tip: Don't mind the waiter pouring the first glass but I have a preference for pouring my own wine thereafter as feel sometimes the waiters can tend to get you to drink faster so you order another bottle!!! Just make sure you tell him or her you want to pour yourself. That way I enjoy the wine on my own time. (first world problem!!). I'll be back!!!
