We had to wait a while for our drinks, but our mains came out about 2 mins after the appetizers arrived. Besides that, it was a great experience. The Service team were well informed on the restaurants mission and food.

Love this place! Great food, great service, lovely location. We go here for special occasions (birthdays, anniversaries, etc) and would go more often but a) it's expensive, and b) it's an hour plus drive for us. Still, we always look forward to going back.
