From start to finish the staff wouldn't do enough for us. The place has atmosphere and class as well as top notch food.
Will return when we're back in the area
Excellent value for money lunch deal, all the different cheese were explained & advised in order to eat, wine very good. Only criticism it was a bit cool due to the location of the door.
