    Absolutely delicious. We'd dined previously at the sister restaurant and this was for our friends visiting from back home, and they were so happy. Perfect portions, very fast turn around and very well cooked. Lovely staff and great selection on the menu

    Lovely dinner - really romantic and cosy candlelit restaurant with very attentive and friendly staff. Extensive wine list and very tasty food. Our only complaint would be the valentines mark-up (seemed to be roughly 50% from the normal menu) but oh well.

    We had some issues with several of the dishes. In particular it seemed the kitchen, on this occasion, struggled to deliver fish dishes that were not far too overcooked - not great when you're asking for things to be rare or medium. And even if you're not asked (as was the case with one of these dishes) they should not be prepared like that. First time here and whilst not a great fan of the low tables and chairs we had an enjoyable time. Until... ca 2.45pm when all of the restaurant, literally every table, became an afternoon tea party. That drastically changes the end of a lunch experience and not for the better. We decided against having a pudding and more wine and fled the scene. Shame. Standout service delivered by Valentina.
