Not my favourite. Went here for the first time, seemed a good atmosphere but our table felt very exposed with staff constantly walking past inches away. Hair in the bread bowl but I didn't want to eat it anyway so didn't make a fuss. A waiter took his shoe off scratched his foot in the dining area right in my eye line. Food ok, pasta was average same as something you'd get at a chain, garlic pizza bread was very oily and a bit bland. Good cheesecake though. Ultimately very average probably won't return.

Really disappointed with the vg options, aubergine pasta was raw and tasted like it had been doused in balsamic vinegar. Very small portions. service is ok. Had to wait a long time for an alternative meal, no discount on the bill.

We had a table booked for 6:30 tonight and were out by 7:30! Our starters were at the table less than 5 minutes after ordering and the mains were not long after. Such fast and amazing service tonight and beautiful food as always! Thank you!

Great range of food to cover all types of dietary requirements and preferences. Quality of service - particularly with children - superb. Very airy and space between tables meant felt very Covid safe.

Great Christmas Eve meal. Sat upstairs so had music and dancing which children enjoyed. The menu was good, plenty of choice and service excellent. The food came quickly and was delicious. A child with allergies was no problem. A lovely evening. Thank you.
