Went for Valentine's Day dinner and we ordered the set menu. The garden spritz drink was absolutely delicious and we thoroughly enjoyed every mouthful of the food. Highlight for us was the brocollini, the chicken and meat skewers were tender. If I could comment on two things it was very loud and the service was a little slow;
