Lovely restaurant, great service, food was nice but not great. Risotto and Pasta, smothered in sauce and bland, but still tasty and very passable 4/5

Requested an intimate table for a date if possible during online booking, and when we arrived, we had the whole top floor to ourselves, the table was decorated with napkins folded into hearts, a personalised message was there wishing us the best for our date and future from the whole staff, and the music felt like it had been hand picked just for us. The extra mile the staff went to in making this date special for us was incredible. Katy, our waitress, is an asset to the restaurant, she made it for us, she is the most bubbly, happy, positive person we've met in a long time, she really did go the extra mile in making our evening special, she took notice, was patient, attentive without being overbearing, and absolute delight to have serving us. The food was out of this world, absolutely beautiful. Above and beyond does not do justice to this restaurant or it's staff. The memory of this date will stay with us throughout our relationship.

Excellent food and service, generous portions and helpful and friendly staff. Our second visit and we'll certainly be back. Series of small rooms make it not too noisy so ideal for a quiet meal and good conversation.

Absolutely gorgeous good and friendly welcoming service. We had two types of garlic bread to start - really tasty rosemary garlic bread and a mozzarella and tomato one too. Various mains but mine was the mushroom ravioli - generous portion and lovely. We shared some homemade chips which were also delicious! Definitely recommend. Worked out with drinks between £25-£30 each.
