Very good food, wide choice, nicely served. Super clean environment, with a 10/10 for the Ladies toilets. Plenty of space inside, tables laid out with care, pretty well laid out space outside, although too cold today.

Beautiful setting & the lighting & dining area is warm comfortable & cosy. The staff were very attentive & engaging & we felt very welcomed. My only slight negative is that the menu is very limited, albeit the food was delicious.
