I must say the staff are a credit to the restaurant, from the moment you are welcomed to the moment you leave the attentetive nature of the staff makes the whole experience wonderful. I must say our server Marcus was excellent he explained everything so well and was there topping up your glass the minute it was empty....honestly he made us feel so special. I can't wait to return....thank you Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

The food was great. There was good variety and everything was full over flavour. They used great ingredients particularly in the tomato and yellow bean sides. The spätzle was great, we had never tried it before but it was light and it held the sauce well. The bolognaise sauce was the best we’ve had in the UK, nice and rich. The Russian dumplings were also fantastic, small, crispy and would be ideal for snacking. We also ordered a second focaccia because the first one was so good and gone too quickly. The service was impeccable. The food is brought in waves with staff recommending which two dishes to bring at a time. It was a great way of eating because it meant the table wasn’t cluttered with lots of dishes and you could appreciate each dish on its own. We were served at various times by 6 different staff members but it wasn’t chaotic, the service just flowed perfectly with staff there when you needed and not bothering you while you were eating. All the staff were really warm and friendly too. The atmosphere in the restaurant was great. Despite the high ceiling it felt intimate but still vibrant. The price was very reasonable too. Overall it was just a perfect meal out. Service: Dine in Meal type: Dinner Price per person: £40–50 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5 Recommended dishes: Dumplings
