We don’t take ourselves too seriously but we are serious about what we put on every plate (and in every cup). We make all our decisions based on quality, never settling for just ok.

On the positive side, the service was excellent, attentive though discrete. The birthday gift was a lovely surprise and again delivered without fuss which was welcome. The ambience was just as I'd want; subdued and relaxed in keeping with the decor and location. Nice to go somewhere other than the West End and experience a different vibe. The food was good and well priced though we both thought the wine list out of kilter with the food pricing, with too many wines in three figures and very few 'affordable' choices. Fine if on business expenses I'm sure but not when forking out your own money - even if it is a special occasion. Needs attention and rebalancing.
