    Delicious food albeit a very small choice of dishes. We tried four main courses all great. We ordered tart tatin for dessert. The caramel sauce was over cooked and burnt. We ate it but told our waitress that it lets a great meal down a lot. She said she told the chef. Will definitely go back but won’t order desert.
