We booked for a birthday meal for 2 diners. There was an excellent choice of dishes on the menu. We particularly liked the suggested wine pairings with each dish and followed the recommendations, all of which were available by the glass. The restaurant was busy, which given the freezing weather suggest that this is a valued restaurant. Despite the business, which created a good ambiance, the acoustics were good and sowe were able to converse easily. Service was excellent and unobtrusive. There was lovely, and completely unexpected, birthday surprise at the end of the meal. Overalll great value for money and a good dining experience.

The welcome and staff helpfulness was 5 star. Food was excellent, apart from the pizza, which was not quite up to your normal standard, the base was underdone as if not cooked in a hot enough oven, but overall a great experience for my mothers 84th birthday, family get together
