    Great night out for a group of 9. Xmas set menu had good choice and the food was lovely. All served together and hot. Staff were friendly and helpful. Really nice night out. Atmosphere in the downstairs vault was good, though it did get a bit noisy. Not surprising though as there was our group and another group, so to be expected. Would definitely go again.

    La Caverna was recommended to me by a friend, it was disappointing. Food was lukewarm, dessert was not nice at all. Staff were eating while standing at service station.
