Food and service was very good, been there 4-5 times always sat at bar but sat at a table this time. Only negative was the noise, rather loud and a little cramped. I get that it is a small restaurant so it wouldn’t affect my going back. Well done

We enjoyed the food and drinks. However, it was so loud that my partner and I could barely speak to each other. The music was so loud it felt like we were in a late night bar and the sound of conversations around the room was deafening. Unfortunately, this seriously detracted from our experience.
