We had booked for 4pm so expected it to be very quiet. It was but there was still a great atmosphere. The menu is not huge but read really well. We chose 6 dishes and they were all fabulous- for me the stand out was the pea and lovage dish for my husband the tuna tartlet. The wine choice was amazing with lovely, knowledgeable staff to help. Will definitely revisit, hopefully sooner rather than later : )
