James

Fantastic food, friendly staff, relaxed atmosphere. Me and my friends picked the lunch degustation menu when we visited. We were all impressed by the quality of food and the presentation. Very nice wine to go along with the food. The staff were really friendly and considerate, giving us a table that was easy to access as a person in our party had mobility issues. Overall a great experience
