Everything was great. The comte frites and the bread were amazing at the start - the butter was to die for. The beef starter was superb and tender and the tomato starter was equally as good. We then shared the monkfish and the gnocchi which were both 10/10. The sauce on both was outrageous. Would like to come back Not overly priced

I was pleasantly surprised with the restaurant. I was worried as I booked a table for 19 on a week's notice. However, they delivered above and beyond my expectations. We were seated upstairs in a private area, and the servers were very attentive. The mixed starters for the table were great and the homemade bread was fantastic. The mains were a nice size and it was lovely to have fresh pasta.
