The venue is great; the noise level was nice and quiet as there were not too many people there; dog friendly which we loved. The food was great if maybe slightly overpriced. The waiter we had was also great!

Fantastic place with great food, very attentive staff and excellent customer service. I particularly want to mention how well the entire staff dealt with my wife’s nut allergy. Also very refreshing to hear nothing but professional chat from the staff. We will be back again soon. Thank you for a lovely experience.
