From the moment we arrived, the customer service was excellent. We opted for the Chef's Share Plate for four people and the food was simply delicious (and loads of it as well). We're not from the area (it's a half way point for girlfriends to catch up) so it was a serendipitous find indeed, and one we will undoubtedly return to again. A fabulous four hour lunch that we all thoroughly enjoyed from start to finish. Can highly recommend.

My husband and I really enjoyed our experience here. The food was exceptional and the service very good. The only down side was the noise however it was Christmas celebrations and you could eat outside in good weather. We would definitely visit here again as the food was so good.
