I went with a girlfriend for Saturday lunch. It was warm, not nearly as busy as the evenings I’ve spent dining there & the food, wine & service was at its usual reliable standard. A very enjoyable experience on every level … seafood risotto special was delicious!

Amazing dinner before seeing a show!! Service was amazing, quick, friendly, and knew their stuff. Had the pre theatre set menu, and all the food was amazing, as a Coeliac, it was amazing to come to a restaurant without any worry of cross contamination or needing to choose a different option, everything was gluten free. Highly recommend, will be coming back again.
