We specifically requested an upstairs table when booking, but on arrival we were quickly shown downstairs despite available tables upstairs, which was a little disappointing. Service was somewhat slow, although the gentleman serving us was polite and kind throughout. We did encounter an issue with our order. We had asked for the fish saffron risotto without courgette, but instead were served plain boiled rice. Had we known the dish couldn’t be modified, we would have happily chosen something else, as the risotto itself was the main reason we ordered it. At times we felt slightly like an inconvenience, which was a shame as the staff were otherwise pleasant. That said, the tapenade and the mushroom risotto were both very good. Perhaps our expectations were influenced by having pictured dining upstairs, so the experience started slightly on the back foot for us
