There was a slight delay for getting our table ready, however we were all given a glass of wine on the house which we really appreciated. The food itself was fantastic - smaller sized plates which suited us well, so we didn’t feel stodged. Our waitress was absolutely lovely too! Overall, a great evening and we will definitely be back again.
