We were warmly greeted upon arrival and given the option of two tables - one by the door or one next to the bar. We chose the latter to avoid any drafts on a chilly, wet evening. After being seated and given menus, we selected a bottle of Chilean Sauvignon Blanc while we looked over the menu and specials board. For starters, we chose duck à l'orange pate and cheesy peppers, followed by swordfish and sirloin steak for mains. The starters arrived promptly and were delicious. The duck pate was beautifully presented with orange gel, toast, and salad, while the peppers were crisp and spicy. The mains arrived quickly as well, with the swordfish in a creamy mushroom sauce and the steak cooked perfectly. We did feel that a longer wait between courses would have been nice, as the service was efficient. Overall, the food was excellent and the hosts were warm and friendly. We would have preferred a more leisurely dining experience, but we thoroughly enjoyed our meal. A complimentary Limoncello was a nice touch to end the evening. Our visit on February 10, 2024, was a pleasant one.

Unfortunately, although the food was decent, it didn't have that special "wow" factor. The menu consisted of typical Mediterranean dishes, offered at a reasonable "early bird" price. There are plenty of other restaurants in the area with similar options, so we are in no hurry to return.

One of the best Fillet steaks I have had in a long time, and my GF enjoyed a home made Lasagne. The food was absolutely spot on and we enjoyed the lively Friday night atmosphere too.
