   Great central location, cosy restaurant and friendly staff. Menu has a big selection of small plates. Prices are quite good for the area. Most of the food was tasty although one aubergine dish tasted old to me. My friend still ate it but could see what I meant that it didn’t taste great

   Very friendly and attentive service even when the restaurant was busy. So many lovely things on the menu it is easy to over order. I will definitely go back again.

   The food was fine. Interesting menu. Staff were friendly and helpful. However, while I am ok with their policy of bringing dishes out when they are ready rather than in course order, everything came out too, too fast. We didn’t have time to really enjoy or savour any of the dishes as all the plates came within 5 minutes of each other (also leading to a very crowded and uncomfortable table). Our meal was over in 45 minutes from the time we entered the restaurant. Not exactly an enjoyable evening meal. Please slow it down! You do your good food a real disservice!

   Excellent food and waiting staff gave great advice. A quiet night but pleasant ambiance. Tables well laid out so easy to chat without intrusion. Menu not huge however everything we had was really good, the only thing I wasn’t so keen on was the ‘ it comes when it’s ready’ concept as dishes were arriving constantly so less chance to fill a plate and eat dishes together. Overall a lovely evening.

   Great to see this place reopen but sadly the food is not as good as previously. I hope they can make a proper courgette fritta next time!

   Good food and service, table far too small for two people sharing plates and had to use empty (luckily) table next to us. Would recommend, though quite expensive

    We chose this venue as it seemed to have a good selection of vegetarian food. We ordered most of the veggie dishes except halloumi. Unfortunately they really didn't taste of very much - not well seasoned. Char grilled mushrooms just tasted like grilled mushrooms, vegetable kebabs were just lumps of unseasoned grilled veg. Also found the service a bit intrusive - staff constantly checking if we'd finished a particular dish when we were eating slowly while having a catch up. The restaurant wasn't very busy and we weren't on a time limit.
