So lucky to have this great restaurant on our doorstep. We were so impressed with the food and service. Great vegi option of cannelloni, it was so tasty, already looking forward to eating it again. The Mac & cheese bites I would eat all day and the braised beef was melt in the mouth per my husband. Delighted we got to try and we will definitely be back. Well done 👏🏻
