Lived up to other reviews which had guided us here. Great ambience, friendly & efficient service, interesting delicious food. Good wine list and good value. Loved that co-owner/chef Beatrice did the rounds of the tables to ensure everything was up to expectation. It was, and if anything beyond that! Thoroughly recommend for lunch or dinner, we will be back!
