We enjoyed a very relaxed lunch. The staff were extremely attentive and we didn’t feel rushed at all. The food was, as always very good. I requested a table by the window because it was a special lunch with my cousin and my request was granted.

Enjoyed my food but did find the soup salty and the herb gnocchi a little unusual in flavour.. Not sure if would order again. Waitresses were interesting, one slightly stressed serving.. Who then forgot to bring me cutlery for my main course and the lady looking after us was a little too keen to get us out the door which is a shame as we were paying customers and no one said anything re a time limit on our table. Sad to say my experience overall was not great..

Great restaurant for families, and perfectly suited my gluten free friend. Our kids ate everything and my little boy was able to nap in his buggy as the staff kindly added space for me to bring it in next to our table. The food was tasty, the portion sizes decent and all reasonably priced, particularly for the location.
