    Apps, pizzas and some wine before the theatre on a Saturday night. Food was very good, server was a very nice woman who was skilled at looking after her customers. Nice little dining area, lots of space between tables and quiet enough to chat with table mates. Great value and recommended. Only 8 tables so reservation is probably a good idea.

    We booked a table for dinner for family and they loved the ambience of the place and the hospitality provided by the owner Suzy. The food was quite a mix of flavours and really worked well for us as we were looking for some different delicacies to try in vegetarian. The place also offers gluten free food which was a plus as we had friends who wanted gluten free items. All in all a pleasant evening in a warm environment made for a lovely dinner.
