Airy open plan restraunt but tables sufficiently private . Staff friendly and welcoming however removed plates before all diners finished and a long wait between starters and entrees Biscuits were very good and butter was unusual, the flavour of the butter continued throughout all the other dishes. Lamb main coloured was undercooked with the fat unrendered. Overall the meal was under whelming but a nice touch was a personal card from the chef as it was our friends preceding dinner.

Decided to dine here for our 48th anniversary. Everything was perfect. We were greeted by the hostess with a happy anniversary. After being seated we received a nice note from Chef and a Complimentary champagne toast. The dinner was incredible. I had the duck and my wife the special Dover Sole. From salad to dessert a wonderful evening. Thanks so much.

I brought someone special here for their birthday and it was amazing, from the birthday card from the chef to the complimentary wine. Our server Daniel was wonderful and made the birthday celebration top tier. I would definitely come back.

Very unfortunate. Food arrived lukewarm to cold. Took forever for a server to arrive. Almost non existent at times. I have eaten there before. It clearly has gone downhill since opening. Poor oversight.

It is a perfect place to go before The Orpheum. We had a delightful dinner — cheese board was exceptional, salads were superb, pasta was lovely…and we had carrot cake for dessert. Honestly, all were wonderful. And our service was attentive but not overbearing— a nice cadence to the courses being served. Yes, we will return…soon.
