Amazing food and cocktails. The service was very friendly, but it took us a while to get our orders taken. The atmosphere was good, but the restaurant could use some finishing touches to give it an authentic feel. Will be back for more hoppers, which were perfect!

Excellent food and really good service. The heating was not functioning at first so I suggest they need extra heating appliances! Would definitely go again.
