    Fast service, and delicious fillet steak ( medium rare) , with a complimentary birthday desert to finish off… a very lovely touch….. Nice decor , though some upholstery could do with some updating…. plus some light background music in the afternoon would give a special/exclusive touch !

    We booked brunch on Bank Holiday Monday and were delighted to find that the restaurant was a small independent business with lots of staff and a great family atmosphere. The service was friendly and they even made me an espresso martini that wasn’t on the menu. Food was all prepared to order and was absolutely delicious! I would highly recommend this place to anyone. It’s small but has both an upstairs and an outside dinning area. A great find 🥰❤️🥰❤️
