Nestled in a charming setting, this restaurant offers a delightful culinary experience, characterized by beautifully presented dishes and a welcoming atmosphere. While some patrons found certain menu items, like the roast, to be average and overpriced, many praised the starters and desserts as exceptional. Service varied; guests appreciated the friendly staff but noted issues such as long wait times and confusion over wine selections. Nonetheless, the warm hospitality and quality of the main offerings, particularly the fish platter and duck curry, left a lasting impression, calling for repeat visits to savor their extensive menu and delightful ambiance.

The pizzas were very good. The service was quick and efficient. It was pretty quite when we visited so the atmosphere wasn’t great.
