Such a beautiful restaurant. The staff are so lovely and so professional. We came as family of four. Our children choose chicken goujons and chips as usual. But they saw the platter we ordered and they loved it and enjoyed that also. Anyone who hasn't tried please do, our first visit and it won't be our last. Thanks for everything tonight, we highly recommend

Absolutely delicious—the meat was tender and juicy, expertly seasoned, and the staff were so friendly. The chef even came out and talked to us for while after our meal. Definitely makes for a good evening!
