    The visit was very lovely. Right from the time we arrived we were greeted and guided to our table, knowing our reservation. They were aware that we were celebrating a birthday and had bubbles whisked straight over to our table. After we had a look at the menu we were suggested a couple of dishes, we ordered and everything was amazing. Not only was the food stunning, but the chef came over and asked us how we enjoyed everything. Amazing experience, thanks so much to both the FOH and BOH!!

    Just barely satisfied with the experience. End of meal was a turn off for me. I find it hard to believe in 2025 this restaurant doesn’t have milk alternatives. I won’t be in a hurry to go back since they don’t care enough about guests to carry not even one milk alternative . We couldn’t even enjoy a latte or cappuccino after our meal. Such an oversight.

    We ordered the calamari (best we’d ever had in our opinion), the brussel sprouts, and the agnolotti. It was superb. Staff were very attentive and friendly. Can’t wait to go again.
