Really nice dinner, the staff were excellent and they served us quickly. My only suggestion would be an improved dessert menu, as the majority of items currently involved some liquor, coffee or alcohol component.

Every aspect of our lunch was outstanding. First impressions were of understated elegance with a brass plaque labelling the restaurant before descending into the opulence of the European interior. Staff were efficient knowledgeable and friendly and the food first rate. Will definitely be returning - soon!

I messed up and arrived more than 15 minutes late on a busy Saturday night. The restaurant was full but the young lady (from Colchester England) still found me a space. Great staff, great service from Stefano and a lovely evening.

Friendly and helpful staff from start to finish. We weren't rushed whilst we wined and dined on delish food. Midweek lunch with the girls was enjoyed immensely.
