The best about this place is people! The waitress, my love, was extra welcoming and attentive, and we even got to dance a bit together on our way out 🥰 Food was good, portions too, small plates are not that small after all 👍🏻

We had a delicious evening meal here, with super efficient and friendly service. Despite the good reviews I’ve read, the place was super quiet (Sunday evening but with the Christmas markets in full swing), only two other tables in - bit of a shame but in no way detracted from a lovely meal. Would definitely recommend.

Came for a 17:45 table at 17:52 and it had been given away. Appreciate it's a busy Saturday but that also means we had nowhere else to take us. Also it has been snowing so the travel conditions were not great - a 10 minute wait time should be standard.

Food was good and staff friendly - only negative comment is that food didn’t arrive at the same time. We arrived with children and it was good that they were served first however one member of our group commented that we were not asked if it’s ok. Will definitely be back

We were a party of 6 with various breakfast choices and everyone thoroughly enjoyed what they had. Staff were lovely and all the coffees were piping hot as was the food. Couldn’t fault anything.
