Cosy space that serves up top quality food. The staff were really lovely (one of whom was on their first shift). We came for the chateau briand but will definitely be back to try more of the menu

Overall we would say we had a nice evening here. I feel like you pay more for the intimacy of the setting and the excellent service as the quality of the food and drinks did not reflect the price paid. They were still nice don't get me wrong, but not 2x as expensive as elsewhere nice. For starters we had the halloumi and watermelon and the Korean lamb belly. The fat on the lamb wasn't rendered enough but the flavour of this dish was good. The halloumi and watermelon was an interesting combination but the mint gel tasted like it was made with jarred mint sauce. The lamb main- no complaints it was all good. I had the ricotta soufflé and the soufflé itself was really tasty. I feel like a little bit more seasoning and getting some more colouration on the vegetables this was served with really would have made this dish shine more though. Desserts- lemon and blueberry cheesecake was really tasty albeit deconstructed which we probably would have preferred it just served as a normal cheesecake slice but it was still excellent. Chocolate cremeux- needed some cream or something to cut through the rich elements. Some of the blackberries served with this tasted like they'd been soaked in vinegar and they were little acid explosions which was really odd on a dessert and we weren't fans of this at all. Cocktails really quite a lot for what they are (9.95, nearly £10 for one small one!) so perhaps wouldn't get these again. The food portion sizes were perfect in order to facilitate your enjoyment of starter, main and dessert while being comfortably but not overly full at the end, so have to give credit for this. This place is a few small changes and slightly better attention to detail from being really great, I might go again if the menu looked really interesting but only as a special treat.

We visited today for my birthday and oh my goodness it's was brilliant. Absolutely fantastic service from a very friendly guy (didn't get his name!) from the minute we walked in. So refreshing to have a waiter who does things so well. Cocktails were lovely and well made and the birthday card was a very nice touch. We both had three courses, and finished every last bit of it all! Really delicious. My husband particularly enjoyed the Thai sweet potato soup and I absolutely loved the rump of lamb. The flavours were so fresh and delicious. Felt like a real treat to visit somewhere so lovely. Can't wait to revisit! Thank you!

Amazing food, great service. Highly recommended especially for gluten free options. My vegan friend was also very happy to see something other than a vegan burger on the menu! Highly recommend the fish pie. So tasty and the fish was plentiful!
