Service was very good - prompt and polite. The food was excellent - tasty, well-presented, and in decent portions. In terms of price, it was moderate for the area. The restaurant is quite small and has a pleasant, vibrant atmosphere. The vibe is one of a pleasant, family-run restaurant, with staff focusing on providing great food and service. Very pleased that we went there and would gladly return.
