Such delightful staff. Only things to change - quicker serving of cocktails and the “croutons “ with chicken salad were horrible

Had a super evening catching up with a dear friend from San Francisco! The food was superb (the beetroot starter was delicious!); the service was quietly attentive but not overbearing! A really lovely dining experience and I'm very much looking forward to a return visit! Well done Cote!
