"Relaxed, friendly, busy, cafe style bistro serving delicious, really good food. You look at the menu and think, well that looks ok, and then the food arrives and it's generous platefuls of absolute flavour bombs! Kudos to the chef who clearly knows how to season well and cook vegetables, fish, and poultry properly. And thumbs up for stocking local spirits. The only downside is due to the high ceiling and echoey space the sound of other diners can be intrusive. And please install an expel-air, when we were there it was very smoky and our clothes smelled from all the cooking. It's very busy so best to book in advance. Thanks for a lovely evening."

The food is fantastic, and the drink selection is impressive. There’s a kids' menu available as well. The service is excellent. I highly recommend trying the breaded brie—it's amazing! The chicken Kyiv and Baked Alaska are also delicious.

Never been here before. I'm on holiday and decided to stop of for a bite to eat. In all my years of eating out I've just had one of the best sirloin steaks EVER. Their chief absolutely nailed it.. The starter, the main meal, the dessert... Fantastic.....5 stars all day long. Highly recommended Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

We had an unfortunate experience at a restaurant that refused to serve us due to our service dog. This has never happened to us before, especially at a place with so much space. The only sign at the entrance prohibits smoking, with no mention of any restrictions regarding service animals. It felt very disrespectful. Our dog is clean, dry, and calm, and would have happily lain under the table to rest. We take him with us everywhere without any issues. Overall, we were very disappointed with the service: 1 star.
