    A late booking and restaurant was full, but staff worked hard to find us a table. Food, as always was very good, but on a busy Friday night was very noisy. Staff accommodated us by seating us in the quieter lounge area. As a share menu, it can be easy to over order.

    Great food, great service, beautiful location and decor. Been here many times and it always delivers. The lamb ribs and fried manouri cheese in particular were my favourites. The restaurant hostess was also really welcoming and helpful, and had a great sense of humour.
