I am in two minds. To keep this neighbourhood gem as a cherished secret so we can get a table or to trumpet it and be disappointed because it is fully booked. The location and dining spaces are beautiful, the menu is kept abbreviated so you know the ingredients used will be fresh and the service by Miro (last night) and Sue (from previous dining experiences) is delightful. The bread and butter, the wagyu burger with truffle chips, fine green beans, the moules… all made delicious, fresh. Merci
