The food was amazing
Enjoyed a great culinary experience with the girls in a relaxed atmosphere. The staff were attentive, knowledgeable and friendly. The food was amazing, well presented, hot and tasty. I can't fault this fantastic new restaurant. Vegetarian options: I believe it was a celeriac risotto.
