    Food was scrumptious and delicious…. Yes, you pay that little bit extra but well worth it. Staff was more than accomodating and very friendly - Nothing was a problem - everything we requested was adhered to without any objection… atmosphere was vibrant yet very relaxing.

    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 :)

    Wow, what a special meal. Every dish was delicious, and the pasta sauces really wowed me. I loved the sashimi starter, the rigatoni carbonara and the pappardelle we had. Best tiramisu we’ve tried thus far! Not a banana fan but still loved the banana caramel dessert. Super great ambience watching all the action in the kitchen from the bar too 🥰
