"It was a cold Sunday February evening we had a reservation for 6.30pm. There were customers at only one other table, so reservations were probably not necessary. The young ladies in charge of service were very courteous and attentive, without fussiness. Always nice to experience welcoming service in a restaurant. Food here is unpretentious, and has a 'home-cooked ' feel to some dishes (I had the pasta special). However, that 's not a complaint, because the prices reflect the straightforward nature of what 's on offer. We recommend phoning for reservation, as we had no responses from the restaurant to emails beforehand (the staff were apparently on holiday in the new year), so had to use the phone. Also, take the opportunity to ask for a table away from the entrance door because, if you are seated just inside that door, the wind blowing down Broughton Street could take some of the enjoyment of dining here away every time someone opens it."
