    Very good service and food arrived quickly. I had the salad which was very good but I thought a bit overpriced. My husband had the beef in Ciabatta with fries and salad. The beef was thickly cut and plentiful. His first time and we would definitely return.

    Great food, attentive service, only 4 stars for the ambience mainly because it was so quiet,hardly any diners on a Saturday night. Our waiter said it had been rammed with people all day since breakfast so was the first time it had been quiet all day. It didn’t spoil things though, our waiter was very attentive as we always find at this venue, still fantastic venue with very tasty food!
