    Great choice of small plates to share and the quality was excellent. Really nice relaxed atmosphere with good wine list, cocktail list etc. Good for small group or just the 2, we were just a couple and had a great spot on a comfy sofa. Something different and service very good.

    We were pleasantly surprised by the innovative share plates on offer. Each plate was beautifully presented and delicious. It was a fantastic place to sit back and relax with a constant stream of meals arriving. Very much recommended!
