    We had a fantastic meal. Full of flavour and nuances. Delicately balanced and each course of the tasting menu was a delight. We were warmly welcomed, and looked after very attentively, even to the point of a staff member going outside in the chilly December weather to secure a taxi for us. Having a separate printed vegetarian menu was greatly appreciated, and enhanced the the experience. We will be back
