    We asked for the music to be turned down so that it did not interfere with conversation and our request was duly complied with. The whole meal was a pleasure and the recommended wine was superb. Alice the waitress was very helpful and the service was very good. We were also fortunate to meet the chef in person and to thank him. This of course added to the restaurant’s ambience. It was our second visit but we will be back!

    End to end, a beautifully crafted experience with fresh produce sympathetically and lovingly created into delicious dishes. The single sitting makes it feel like everyone’s invited to a private party. See you again soon. Peter

    A tasting menu that delights the senses, mindful portion sizes and a balanced variety of flavours and tastes that kept momentum and didn't conflict. Wine to match.

    Duncan and his outstanding team are everything I love about casual fine dining! Exquisite food, prepared by a master, and served in a stylish and unpretentious way. 11/10 Their lead server was sunshine and sophistication. Knowledgeable and welcoming in every way. Faultless from start to finish, and the perfect January birthday treat!

    Neighbourhood restaurant tucked away in a backstreet with seriously competent cooking, in a calm friendly atmosphere. Limited menu ensures good quality and value.

    I'm really sorry to say that we were disappointed. This has been our favourite 'special occasion' restaurant for years and we've always been delighted with the food, the service, the presentation, the 'theatre' of the whole experience, but not this time. There's been a change to a new style of menu and they no longer do the wine matching...both of these points could have been fine, but somehow the pizzazz was missing. We were told that all the dishes were all ones that had been served before and some dishes tasted amazing, but that's not enough for the price point. I hope it will return to it's former glory, but sadly we've decided we need to find a new special occasion restaurant. :(
