    Very quick service despite restaurant being extremely busy. Staff member serving us was excellent and even made my daughter an Origami butterfly out of a menu!! Food and drink options varied, great value and delicious. Just a bit noisy and squashed in due to how busy it was. Reservation essential. Second visit here and would definitely return.

    Seafood linguine was ok; but seafood overcooked (reheated?) & mussels gritty, but sauce nice. Caesar Salad was fabulous. Service was very good - had to ask for finger bowl but she brought it immediately.

    We were a little late because of trains 😑, but we were seated straight away when we arrived and were seen by numerous waiting staff for our orders. Didn’t have to wait to long for anything. Very attentive staff

    Everyone here is happy and full of smiles. Warm welcomes when you walk in. Your drinks arrive in miniutes. Food is well cooked slightly different twist and they are always happy to swap stuff around. If you’re Lucky you might even get a hug on the way out! 5 stars!!

    First visit and won't be the last. Booked a table for an early dinner in between Harry Potter shows. Service was great and quick and the food was delicious. Highly recommend.
