Everything was perfect! The food was delicious and the service excellent and friendly. We were seated outside with the glass surrounds which was lovely and airy. There was a singer on which made the whole experience even better. We would totally recommend.

We had a lovely meal and the service and staff are excellent. I would like to suggest that in the evening the lighting is dimmed so it gives a nicer ambience for evening dining. All of our group of 10 who had dinner there a few weeks ago felt the same

A little bit too loud of an atmosphere for my elderly grandma who is hard of hearing, but the male staff member was very good with her and my children. Food was gorgeous, everyone enjoyed it. Only issue was I ordered the meze off the specials menu as I thought meze was an assortment of Dips, bread and meat... its not. I had a basket of bread and dip for my meal

The food was pretty good and so was the service. The air conditioning was positively arctic which made me feel very uncomfortable but I was probably the only person that was affected. I will definitely go there again.

My cheese omelet with avocado was excellent as was the baked potato which I shared with my husband as he was not impressed with the roast potatoes. Both my husband and our adult son had the roast beef, which they found very tough, so I brought it back for our dog who seemed happy with it. Service efficient and very friendly. Lovely setting. We might venture again but not order meat as last time, my husband had roast turkey, which was tough also.

Lovely food, good proportions. Just a shame the place was mainly empty so lacked ambience.
