    We came here for the first time after receiving a gift voucher. The reviews were right on the mark. The steak was amazing, cocktails were great and the service was outstanding. Our waitresses Poppy and Tilly were very welcoming and attentive, always asking whether we wanted anything more, and made sure our water was always filled.

    This restaurant is a true hidden gem that deserves to be discovered. It boasts an extensive wine selection paired with dishes to suit every palate. Standout highlights include the haloumi appetiser, the duck main, and the gnocchi—all flavourful, satisfying, and expertly crafted. The portions are generous, the flavours exceptional, and the prices competitive for fine dining, all without compromising on quality. We've never been disappointed and can't wait to return!
