    We always have a wonderful time when we dine here. Our recent visit was no different. It’s always a calm and fairly quiet dining experience. Nothing too wild and crazy. The staff are always friendly and knowledgeable. The most impressive characteristic about the staff is if they don’t know the answer, well, they don’t make something up and guess. They actually say I’m not too sure but let me speak with my manager and get the answer for you. It’s refreshing. The food was delicious and perfect temp. The appetizers were fabulous. Everything was just perfect. You can never go wrong finishing the meal with the sticky toffee pudding. So scrumptious.
