We got the roast, the chicken one looked a bit anaemic but the beef was tasty. Live music playing which was a nice atmosphere. There were some dogs allowed in which didn’t bother us. Service was great in the beginning and then after we asked for the dessert menu, we never saw the server again .

Excellent food, wine and service. It was really quiet though (and the lighting very bright) which resulted in a slight lack of ambience and made it feel like a daytime venue which had stayed open late. I’d suggest some more subtle lighting in the evening and perhaps some more marketing as the food itself was great.
