    Amazing food very well seasoned and magnificent flavour. The service was very wonderful and felt like we didn't get rushed with the service. My partner and I shall definitely be going back to this restaurant again.

    From the start the service by the staff was excellent. They were very attentive, prompt and engaging. The food was delicious, the quantities more than ample, and the quality also excellent. It was a busy time so noise levels were high, but didn’t detract from our experience. We come here about once or twice a year and are never disappointed. We may start coming more often.
