A great little restaurant that never fails to impress with their food and service. We had a great 3 course meal, with wine and desert wine and the bill came to [$]. Highly recommended for couples or groups of up to 6.

We had dinner on a Friday evening at 8pm. The atmosphere was lovely and the waiter was very well informed. Small selection of starters, mains and puddings, all delicious. We can't fault it, it's our favourite restaurant for a special night out.
