We loved the food and service. Good menu..everything you’d expect really. If I have to be picky the focaccia wasnt as ‘quality’ as I would have liked but still tasty and didn’t detract from the overall experience. Will definitely be back.

Great service from waiting staff the evening we went, very attentive to your drinks becoming low. Food on menu was a very good choice. Not too much but enough and covering many foods. It was nice to see in to the kitchen and watch them cook. Nevertheless the food was fabulous. Good portion sizes and full of flavour. Will definitely be returning.
