It was a really busy night, a Tuesday night, and I don’t think they were expecting soooo many people, so they were a bit short-staffed (it happens), but we had a great night. Fantastic atmosphere, piano bar music playing live, good cocktails and wine choices and we really liked the food. A great time was had by all.

Relaxed but sophisticated vibes. Perfect place for our celebration meal with a group of mixed ages (85 through to 18) …everyone could hear the conversation. We didn’t feel rushed and our meal was prompt and the service professional. Everybody thought the ribeye on the bone was the hero. Don’t miss out on the octopus with harissa.

The service was efficient, friendly and nothing was too much trouble for the staff who waited on our table. The food was delicious and enjoyed by everyone in our group. There were a couple of people in our group with loss of hearing and they found the loudness was amplified through their hearing aids. When they removed their hearing aids to counteract the noise levels, their ability to hear conversation was diminished.
