“ Beautiful selection of wines! The sommelier was very helpful and her suggestions were spot on each time. A+ service. We were seated in line with the door draft which took away from the ambience a little. Set menu is great value, just wasn’t a fan of how heavily smoke featured through the menu, as it’s quite an overpowering flavour profile. Still yum. ”
“ I was delighted by this venue in every way. The wood fire cooking (hints of Etxebarri) was utterly delicious. We enjoyed the express lunch with the incredible half chicken. I'd happily, excitedly devour the entire menu. ”

“ Delicious food, great atmosphere and awesome service! Apart from more cream than I’d prefer (especially given I’m DF) and a lot of bone in the fish of the day, everything was wonderful. The honey bread is to die for! ”
“ I came here for lunch today. I had the fish of the day, which Flathead from somehow in Australia. It was amazing . The bed of rice and vegetables were the perfect amount. I think the sauce had EVVO, lemon, dill and other ingredients sauce that was heavenly and a perfect addition to the fish I wanted to lick the plate when I was done. Would come here again for another meal. ”
