As others on these review pages note there is little if anything to criticise and much to praise. Attentive wait staff who are mostly flitting around our outside tables. I get the feeling the dishes are well curated, that there would not be a dud dish on the menu. Great mix of stury flavours in both the slow cooked lamb and cauliflower mains. Deserts were well up to the mains too, the cheese platter plentiful, so much so, thought I'd ordered for two. This place shows how seemlessly a restaurant should run, with nothing detracting from the whole dining experience.

Absolutely incredible food - especially the whipped cod roe & potato fugel. The decor of the restaurant is so beautiful and the attention to detail doesn't go amiss. The vibe was impeccable - will definitely be returning & couldn't recommend more!
