Second time coming, on this occasion valentines. Impeccable food and exceptional service. Had an unfortunate error when ordering which meant we had to reorder. On doing so, we were given many items in the house as an apology whilst the waiting staff apologised profusely. An exceptional restaurant with exceptional staff

Delicious food, generous 'small' plates and good choice for all dietary requirements. Table was spacious which was great when we were sharing plates. We have already been planning our return.
