Our second visit to Crossley St Cantina, and it lived up to expectations! Excellent food, wine and atmosphere. It's a permanent on our favourites list now. Try the prawns to start with the Italian Soave by the glass, and then the eggplant and the beef for two with bone marrow, washed down with the Karman Tempranillo from Spain. Fantastic. Thanks also to waitress Maria who looked after us very well.

We went to Rumi with friends (4 in total) and had a brilliant time. The food and cocktails were exceptional. The pacing between courses spot on. Staff were attentive but not obtrusive. It was a Friday night, the atmosphere was what you'd want on a Friday....lots of people having a great time, but the noise levels were not intrusive, so you could still have conversations at your table. Absolutely 100% recommend Rumi and we'll certainly be going there again!
