Unbelievably delicious, with a very reasonable price point! & Amazing service! I was greeted/welcomed by almost every staff member at some point. Food and drinks were incredible. The Drogon cocktail was the best tequila cocktail I’ve ever had. We got the crab cake, peppercorn filet medallions with truffle fries, pork chop, our daughter got the fish and chips, and we shared butterscotch pudding and molten chocolate lava cake. All perfectly cooked and flavorful. Definitely our new favorite!

First time, and totally recommend here. We were there on a Saturday evening when there was live music as well. Food was delicious, Best gnocchi I have had - they were so light. We had crab cakes, burrata, salad with fillet and fries and a delicious crème brûlée. Connected with the Market next but a more intimate setting I felt.
