There were 3 of us, seated next to the door, at a table for 2. So it was a bit of a squash, and we had to keep shutting the door after other customers entered or left. These things were slightly off putting. The service was excellent, however, and the food was delicious. The restaurant is warm and welcoming, and we weren't rushed at all. Altogether, a really nice experience. We'll definitely go again, but will request a larger table away from the door, if possible.
