    Great food, service was great upon arrival but after receiving food received no more service from the table to order more drinks etc even after someone came to collect plates and we mentioned we’d like more drinks and the server said nothing and no one came back not even to deliver the bill.

    We had a small group celebratory lunch on a Saturday. The service was prompt and friendly and the food was delicious and a decent serving size. The old vintage style rooms were charming and the fireplace added to the warmth of the atmosphere. We'll definitely come again.

    They have a very large menu and lots of gluten-free options. We had pizza, GF gnocchi, fettuccine carbonara and calamari and all the meals were very good and quite large portions. The servers were friendly and efficient. The restaurant was quiet but we did eat early, so it may get noisy when it is full.

    Would I go back? No. Rushed very rushed. Portion sizes small. Forgot to deliver ordered items. Charged for items that didn’t get deliver.

    The restaurant and location has a lot of potential. I would just take a look at the food quality. Especially the risottos And service Eg. Providing Parmesan, dressing for salads.
