The service was excellent (casual but attentive), and the food was delicious. My wife was delighted with the specific gluten free menu which had been prepared for her.

Birthday meal Set menu with dishes we probably would not have chosen normally but have to say that they were very well presented and tasted lovely. Had great help with choosing the accompanying wines and loved the little extras. We have been a few times now and have never been disappointed.
