Lovely evening meal at this recently refurbished restaurant. Although the menu does not have a vast selection, all of the options looked good and the Duck breast was excellent. Quite steep stairs to come down from street level and the entrance is slightly difficult to find at the moment due to scaffolding in front of the adjoining shop.
