Overall good. I’d say some items are very overpriced, while others are more in line with what I’d expect for the area. Service was slow with a few forgotten drink a couple of times but everyone was very nice and it was quickly corrected. If I was trying to fit in a lunch in work hours I’d have been very stressed. As we were there for a relaxing afternoon I was unbothered. They were very accommodating of some of the group arriving at different times and adding a 5th chair on the end of a 5 seater table. Food is good, some creative starters. Not as many creative/original cocktail choices as I hoped. Not as memorably full of flavour as the similarly positioned (& slightly cheaper) Brigadiers round the corner. Would I go again? Yes, if not during lunch or under any time pressure, and Brigadiers is too busy to get a table.
