Farewell. Wish it had ended with a bang instead of a whimper. For some reason I was left neglected on their final night. Asked for a glass of the owner’s selection of wine — at a restaurant known for its cellar — and that single glass of wine never came.

Fabulous food, wonderful cocktails and an amazing wine selection. Never had a bad meal there and last night’s dinner was truly wonderful. Two different pastas and hard to choose which one was better - both were fantastic. Steak tartare was delicious We ended with the “name your price” tasting of dessert wines for the table and it was a great selection and very fun experience.
