Always a wonderful experience. Food of high quality although one could argue a little on the high end price wise for the main courses….even when sharing. That said, when the restaurant is full it is a testament to the quality. Vibrant atmosphere although perhaps a tad loud when sitting directly under the speakers. Menu / wine list always offers something slightly different to the norm allowing it to stand out from the crowd. Lovely evening.
