    Excellent waiter service and the food was ok (though for the prices charged, larger portions would be welcome). The place needs to stay serving later though. And bring back the gnocchi!

    Nice wholesome food. Good service. Got very noisy and then died down. That does with the territory. Thank you!

    My friend and I enjoyed a lovely rendez-vous before our film yesterday (Sunday) afternoon. It was our first time using the cafe. The service was excellent, Food was tasty and extremely well presented. The cafe had a delightful "chic old world" feel to it. Overall we were delighted with our meal and the fact that it was a warm and comfortable place to chat before the film. I'll definitely be back as places like this absolutely need to be supported and cherished. Thank you

    We had a cheeseboard and lovely wine. The service was excellent as always. It is such a cosy relaxing place to have a bite before or after a film.
