Everything was off to a great start and the food was really lovely. The service started off great and friendly throughout but slowed down noticeably at the end when we had to flag for a bottle of water and order desserts - took 30 mins to get attention after we had finished our mains. Otherwise a lovely meal and we’d happily come back!

The waitress who served us absolutely made our experience. I’m not sure if her name but I think she was French. She was kind, friendly and very welcoming. The food was delicious and it was great value to get in with the happy hour cocktails! Opting for the courtyard out front isn’t something I usually do but considering it had been a 30 degree day, it was a balmy night so it was lovely. Overall, great experience!

Lovely wine and service. Would have loved to go back, but with lack of vegetarian food to accompany, that may be difficult.
