    We had a lovely meal here for my Dad’s birthday. The staff were really helpful and attentive and were really good at recommending the wine pairings. The food was all beautifully cooked and delicious. The sharing beef wellington was amazing. The cocktails were delicious and we all thoroughly enjoyed it. We had asked in advance for a quieter table out the way for the kids and that was perfect. I would definitely return could not fault it at all.

    Beautiful little restaurant with a very relaxing ambiance and a great play list. Knowledgeable and friendly service that enhances the experience greatly. We were on our second visit and the really interesting menu, quality of ingredients and outstandingly clever cooking was again exceptional. 52 day aged wagyu! We were totally spoiled, thank you so much for a wonderful dinner.

    Went for the house menu, which is reasonably priced and excellent quality. Pre-dinner drinks outside in the pretty garden on a summer's evening to be recommended.
