    Lovely welcome from staff. Our table wasn’t quite ready as we were a bit early but had a good time at the bar with friendly and helpful staff. Good food and service when we did sit down. Great atmosphere. We were celebrating a big birthday and the birthday girl was given a glass of bubbles and a dessert with a candle. Nice touches, so thank you!

    This was a very busy night. It was noisy and we couldn't hear each other speak on our table of 8. Food we ordered did not arrive together and we had to wait for two dishes which arrived several minutes after most of us had started our meals. The moroccan lamb was chewy and the coleslaw was the main feature on the plate, if I wanted coleslaw as a main I would ask for it ! The prawn linguine was swimming in a thin broth like sauce, we didn't order noodle soup! I won't revisit.
