First visit, very impressed. The ambience was exemplary as were the staff, the details were noted, from offering to take out coats on arrival, seating us at the bar, taking our drinks to the table and table service was spot on. I think the bar was my favourite! The food was perfect and the evening was finished with a salted caramel espresso martini 🍸 Thank you to everyone, the whole team who worked fantastically together, wonderful.

Second time we’ve been here. Obviously Sundays are very popular as much busier than when we first went which added to the good buzz. We were advised there may be a delay on food as they were so busy, but there wasn’t . The food was superb, we all had the white onion soup with truffle oil to start, followed by a roast. Everything was piping hot and very tasty. Portions were so generous no room for desert but we rounded things off with a cocktail (the negroni mocktail for the driver )was particularly good. Nothing negative to say- well worth a visit.
