My friend and I enjoyed a lovely rendez-vous before our film yesterday (Sunday) afternoon. It was our first time using the cafe. The service was excellent, Food was tasty and extremely well presented. The cafe had a delightful "chic old world" feel to it. Overall we were delighted with our meal and the fact that it was a warm and comfortable place to chat before the film. I'll definitely be back as places like this absolutely need to be supported and cherished. Thank you

We had a cheeseboard and lovely wine. The service was excellent as always. It is such a cosy relaxing place to have a bite before or after a film.

The food was good and service was good but: despite booking a table in advance we were located in a very small table in the middle - this meant that we didn't have enough place on our table for our plates, it meant that we were very close to other people talking very loud and the noise was enormous. What could have been a beautiful evening turned out to be a stressful one

We shared the calamari starter, and each had the prawn Thai curry, both were delicious and plenty. Glass of Malbec was also very nice and served at the correct temperature. Staff very accommodating when we asked to move as we were beside the entrance and we had been cold coming in!
