Honestly one of the best restaurants I’ve been to recently. The food seems to be all about fresh seasonal produce which I LOVE ! Peaches and tomato salad was definitely the favourite for me. They were also so considerate and plated the pasta in 2 plates for me and my friend - it’s these little things ! can’t wait to come back again :)
