    Food and service excellent as usual. Only complaint was that chocolate mousse was delicious it was way too rich. Noise levels way too high making it very difficult to chat.

    A great find - very busy on a Tuesday lunchtime. An extensive menu and although we only had a main course each, it was fresh, well cooked and delicious.
