I think they were understaffed. We had a 6pm reservation and it was pretty empty but our server seemed very busy. He never told us about specials, didn't ask how I liked my lamb cooked and seemed to disappear for long periods. The rolls were very good and the lamb, despite being overdone was tasty. I certainly did not need a salad - wish he had mentioned that. I don't think we will go back.

Lovely setting and interior, but very noisy at times. Had the catch of the day and it was delicious and presented well. The mussels looked nice on the plate, but didn’t add to the dish. Service was extremely cordial, but there was some wait time. Will definitely go back.
