Went for lunch. Set menu was simple but varied. Sirloin was really nice. Chestnut soup starter was one of our favourite dishes. Dessert was also lovely. Service was excellent. Thank you!

Cocktails are a rip off. Not every cocktail Is the same measure so don’t serve them as they are but in different glasses with breeze blocks of ice. Cocktails should be different measures. Food, service and surroundings on the other hand was amazing.

Everything was perfect! The food was delicious, the place was cozy and the service was outstanding! Perfect for a special dinner. We went there to celebrate my boyfriends birthday and the waiters and waitress were so attentive and made sure it was memorable. Luna was super nice and helpful with her recommendations. We can’t wait to come back and try other dishes, they really were absolutely delightful (and so many vegetarian options!). Highly recommend!
