We opted for the vegan tasting menu, and it exceeded our expectations with each course, showcasing fantastic attention to detail and creative use of ingredients. The decor is charmingly casual, adding to the overall atmosphere.

Soft jazz music added to the atmosphere. There was a tasting menu or an a la carte menu to choose from. I had the cured salmon and turbot with butter sauce and finally cherry souffle. All were beautifully presented and perfectly cooked. However, the most positive thing was the way they dealt with my husband's garlic allergy. We get so used to him being told what he can't have and very few items left on the menu that he can! At the Angel Ellie came to speak to us and explained all items were possible just sometimes with a different sauce. So he had lamb as a main with an apricot sauce instead of the jus. It was beautifully cooked and the sauce went well with it. There was a great atmosphere with Ellie front of house looking after all her diners with care and a great sense of humour. We look forward to returning on our next visit.

Classic style cuisine. Quite a formal feel to the restaurant, sometimes service was a little stilted. Superb Turbot dish. Crab risotto was slightly overcooked.... read more Classic style cuisine. Quite a formal feel to the restaurant, sometimes service was a little stilted. Superb Turbot dish. Crab risotto was slightly overcooked. Nice amuse bouche. Price was high, not convinced the cooking was at that price point.
