Lovely location and views within the ORO courtyard. Decor pleasant, though the scallop shells above the circular bar look odd. Enthusiastic and pleasant service. Food of a good standard despite the distance to the kitchen - though certainly not Michelin * level. 15% SC included in the check, OK, but card machine prompting for a further large tip seemed less so.
