Booked a table to eat before a show. We had not been to this restaurant before but the reviews looked good so thought I’d give it a go and book. We were not disappointed. The staff were fantastic, so friendly and helpful from the moment you walk in. The restaurant has a lovely atmosphere and, most of all, the food is delicious! We went for a couple of large plates and a few small ones to share accompanied by wine. When the bill came, that was also a pleasant surprise! Great value for money too! I have nothing negative to say, so pleased I booked this restaurant. I have no hesitation in recommending, looking forward to eating here again.

The ambiance and service were excellent. Unfortunately, we were seated by the high table and chairs, which I generally consider very uncomfortable and especially unsuitable for brunch. I had a cappuccino, which was only average (too hot and the coffee was not good, but otherwise it was at least creamy), and French toast which was very good and a big portion. My husband and his friend had Focaccia with steak and with sides Nachos, and that was quite disappointing. It was overall very dry, with not much sauce or meat, caramelized onion only a little, and too much dry Focaccia (it looks like more ordinary pastry from some shop).
