    We booked our table very early at 11:45 and we're the first ones in so could see the interiors and how they are laid out. Service was excellent, we had the festive tasting menu for 2, there was so much food, we struggled to get through it and left some. We took our puddings away in a box. Be prepared excludig alcohol to pay £75 - £100 per head for an epic experience. Would definitely go back. I took my daughter for her birthday as she wanted to go and it was fantastic.

    The restaurant was a little hard to find but all perfect once we did. Warm welcome and friendly staff. Our starters and mains were delicious and Leela who looked after us was fantastic. Thanks so much for taking note of my booking message as well and the nice Birthday surprise for my partner. Would definitely visit again, can't wait to try more of the menu!

    This easy to miss place slightly oddly positioned in Chapel Market was excellent. Recommended to me by a local friend, food was very light and seafood super fresh. We had an interesting selection of modern style tapas and a pleasant Bottle of red. Good ambiance/lighting, not too noisy, good low key service. I am pretty fussy re all of the above, I’d definitely recommend this place for dinner and for locals to support this team that is working hard and delivering a good experience.
