    As an ex-chef who has worked in chef-hat restaurants and eaten at plenty of them too, I can honestly say this is probably some of the best food I’ve ever eaten. I genuinely couldn’t fault a single thing. Everything was fresh, tasty and full of flavour, and the quality was easily at the level where I’d expect to pay twice the price. Absolutely fantastic. I’ll definitely be returning and will happily recommend this place to anyone.
