The food was really good - in particular the cod was outstanding. The staff here is second to none in terms of attentiveness and service, in particular the lovely Veronica is a reason to come back!

Whilst the service was brilliant the food was very overpriced for the quality and portion size. I wouldn't return or recommend for others to visit sadly.

First time we have been, wonderful experience. Lovely friendly lady at reception showed us to our table. Our waiter was incredibly attentive (not sure of name, really sweet guy from Sicily) - and the food was extremely good. We had the set lunch - all of the courses were excellent, especially the Salmon sashimi and the seaweed Kyuri salad. Portions were also quite large, we couldnt finish everything. Really satisfying great value experience with beautiful food and kind, friendly staff. We will be back.

great location, great food, nice wine list. some items were not available on the menu, but waiter/ess suggested other recommendations based on waiter/ess's own preferences, but didn't ask what we were actually looking for or what we would really like to enjoy.
