Great food and a friendly welcome - plus a superb bottle of wine. We were unlucky to arrive at the same time as a table of 12 so the service was understandably a little slow but otherwise, everything was great. Would not hesitate to recommend.

A very pleasant dining experience. Quality of food & service was good. It was a Sunday night and the large restaurant was not very busy so lacked ambiance.
