So glad we found this place on our last night . Food was outstanding and staff were really good. Mushroom sharer starter was amazing . Had the rump steak that was cooked perfectly and peppercorn sauce which was a great taste and consistency. Wish I could have managed a dessert but I was too full ! Definitely recommend this restaurant . Also good prices .
