Great place. came here with my wife on a Friday night. beautiful atmosphere. everyone who served us was friendly and knowledgeable. drinks were nice, but eating is another level. Mustels starter with Nduja sauce was the best I had. fillet steak was beautiful, spiced and carved up to perfection. lime tart was great. a shout at all our server but again, they really made the evening, and we will visit again very soon.

My partner and I had a wonderful time at this restaurant for a special 'date night'. The ambiance was fantastic and we especially enjoyed the decor. We decided to order the steak and lobster sharing platter, which was absolutely delicious. The staff were very kind and attentive. After our meal, we sat outside on a lovely warm evening and enjoyed a few drinks, which was the perfect end to the night. I can't stop thinking about the amazing food and we will definitely be returning soon. I highly recommend this restaurant.

We went to the restaurant for their lobster and steak night and we were very pleased. Both the steak and lobster were cooked perfectly. We will definitely return as the food was fantastic, the staff were very friendly, and the restaurant decor was impressive. Thank you! It's great to have a local restaurant of such high quality.

UPDATE! We were eventually asked to come in for a complimentary meal now the new chef was up to speed. I am happy to say that things have significantly improved! I would now recommend. Worst food We have ever had. We took the mother-in-law for her 70th birthday at the end of last year. The place was freezing cold and the ceiling leaking. The food was shocking for the price we paid. We complained and were told that the head chef had left and that we would be invited back once things were “sorted”. We never received a call, not that we would go back.

Nice place, I enjoyed my pizza. Was a little confused as there are coded symbols for vegan, gluten free, etc, at the bottom of the menu but they aren't actually applied next to any of the meals. I wish the meals were clearly labelled so you don't have to ask questions before ordering.

Great place. Came here with my wife on a Friday evening. Lovely atmosphere. Everyone who served us was friendly and knowledgeable. Drinks were nice, but the food is another level. Mussels starter with Nduja sauce was the best I've had. Fillet steak was beautiful, seasoned and charred to perfection. Lime tart was great. A shout out to all our servers again though, they really made the evening, and we'll be visiting again very soon.
