    This is a great place to meet for a drink or to eat, we did both we were a group of 6 meeting for a meal then joined by 2 more for drinks. The staff were very accommodating and friendly . The food was delicious with a good variety. We did find the music in the bar, after dinner, to be quite loud. However, overall we had a great evening and would recommend this restaurant.

    Great food and amazing service. Beautiful place and decor. We were seated in the mock terrace section and while there was some glare from the sun, it was a lovely ambience to enjoy our food. Would go again!
