This was our first visit to this fantastic restaurant, and certainly will not be our last. Both our meals came out presented beautifully. My steak was the best I have ever eaten!!! My wife had Salmon and described the same. We were the only two in at that time but the restaurant still felt cosy and welcoming. We will definitely return with friends in tow!! Simply wonderful.
