How have I lived in Ilkeston all of my life and never visited this place! I knew it had a great reputation, but I had never gotten around trying it myself. The choice of food was a little limited, but I have to say, all courses that everyone ate in my party was extremely well presented, tasted fantastic, and received favourable comments and feedback. The staff were pleasant and attentative too, making for a great experience. The price was extremely reasonable too. I would highly recommend this restaurant.

We only gave 3 stars for the service because we weren't given a wine list (the wines were listed on a board on the wall, which we didn't see until we were leaving) and when I asked for a wine recommendation, I was advised to get the Malbec, which turned out to be the most expensive wine at £16 for a large glass and it wasn't even that good. Other than that, the service was good.
