We both had a starter with pumpkin, followed by 3 varieties of parsnip with chicken and a delicious desert. The coffee was also great at the end of the meal. Felt bad for the young man servicing our table. There was a misunderstanding when our starter and main course arrived at the table at the same time. Our waiter took the main course back to the kitchen to correct the situation. The chef got angry at him and started lashing out at him. The place was far from full, so don't understand where his frustration came from.

Would not recommend, and seems likely it won’t be open for long if it continues this way.
